The GR Yaris is unique in that they took a rally car and tweaked it for street use, instead of taking a regular production car and modifying it for Rally use (Which is what i believe they did with their prior Rally cars based on the Yaris and Corolla/Auris). It is why the GR Yaris has almost nothing in common with the production Yaris (I seem to recall its just the front lights, the rear lights and the hood? Everything else about it is bespoke). They cant kill the GR Yaris unless Toyota decides to exit Rallying. But they can kill off the GR Corolla if it eventually happens because the GR Corolla has nothing to do with Rally. |

They decided to sell the car despite a regulation change that made it irrelevant from day 0. I see you read the history of GRY quite a bit, but not quite enough

Yeah - the rules change making the Rally Yaris ineligible makes it even more awesome that Toyota opted to continue the program honestly.

There will be GR Corollas for everybody that wants one. Eventually. Making tens of thousands of them the first year is just not ever going to happen no matter what the demand is or internet armchair auto execs say they should do.

They certainly aren't the same car, but share enough in common that watching reviews of the GR Yaris will give you some indication of the GR Corolla performance level. |

The model and package codes for the 2023 Supra were removed from the menus in the dealer portal. I guess we weren't supposed to see them :shrug:

Wouldnt doubt it.
I think BMW already pairs a 6 MT with the B58 I6 in their cars so there really wouldn't be any "development work" required to test it, except maybe tweaking the gear ratios if its not a straight up swap-in. |
