+1 Toyota dealers suck, they just want to sell Prius and Camry off the lot to whoever wanders in and can pass a credit check then just do overpriced oil changes and tire rotations until they die.
That being said, I'm warming up to the idea of a warmed over Corolla, if they can get ~260 hp into it, a torsen diff, tweak the suspension with better damping, get the price <$29k I think they have a viable FoST replacement that would be an Si/GTI/WRX/Veloster N fighter. Doubt I'd buy it, but I'd be interested in driving it and appreciative of it's existence. Moreso with the I3 but a tune on the 8AR would probably be fine and more sensible for US markets. I don't think they could make the Corolla a ~$35k TypeR/STI/GolfR fighter, maybe if they could crank the hp to >300 and get the AWD in there and keep it under 3,300 lbs but that's a tall order. And for my money I'd take the lighter Yaris any day of the week. |

Guess it’s a pretty good deal here, a journalist from the same publication was one of the first 1000 to order one.

"I'm glad I took the plunge too, as within the first day, 560 of the 1000 launch cars had been ordered in total. In fact, a quarter of the volume that Toyota initially conceded to likely last 12-18 months, sold in just 30 minutes."

Yeah I kind of have a bit of FOMO not getting one myself lol. They’re definitely pretty cool, light weight, AWD, 200KW. They do have a lot going for them.

Fun to drive "Wide-open roads. Sweeping bends. Thrilling corners. RAV4 Prime gives you the agility you crave, while still delivering a smooth, confortable ride." Also paddle shifters! Yea, I wouldn't get my hopes up for more than a warmed over Corrolla. It'll be a little more powerful, but it will likely just be an appearance package with 18" wheels, a larger motor and open diffs. |

But you don't really need the toe out, it just needs to be a small lightweight car, preferably with a stick. My 08 hyundai accent (manual) was a blast on back roads. |
