Guess Toyota is letting us vote out thoughts on bringing a GR hatch to the US. Might as well sign away!

In fact I am not sure what they are saying really. "While GR Yaris isn't coming to the U.S., perhaps it's time the U.S. got a Toyota hot hatch to call its own."

There is a (hybrid) Euro GR Corolla hatch, which is not much more than a mildly spiced up normal hatch. Maybe the NA GR Corolla will have version of the hot 3 cylinder Yaris engine, although I doubt they will offer it in AWD.

The dimensions are actually similar to the 86, yet it adds a turbocharger system, front axles, front diff and haldex-like clutch pack, and the 86 is pretty cheap over-all, right? The 86 is also not equipped with the power this car has. In order to make it light, it must use expensive parts like carbon fiber and aluminum, or it must be really tinny and cheap.

True, but I'd like to have hope. Hope that even a GR Corolla could come here.

I知 afraid it will be just be a GTI competitor and not anywhere near the GR Yaris.

Who cares? Its something new. At least it's not some revived named turned into a CUV or SUV. I'm fine with no GR Yaris, but anything sporty and new from Toyota is a win in my books.

Honestly I still think about this car all the time. I don't think about the Corolla at all. It's fine, I'm glad it'll be another option. It's just not for me (probably). By the time the GR Yaris is out maybe air travel will be safe again and I'll do another Scotland trip and drive one. - Andrew |

The segment just borrows a turbocharged engine and plops that in the car. Innovation isn稚 really there, as much as, gradual progression of value. That I値l give you. Quote:
