It's the flared guards and low roof line I like the least about it.

Boy would I love to have an AMG though.

Why should a sports/performance car NOT look good? Some people like to hang out in their garages taking in the beauty of their cars. Some like always taking a look over their shoulder after parking to get one more look at their car.

Then again, plenty of people marry ugly people because they're good in bed and are good at cooking - yes?

Fair enough, beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. I like the pumped up WRC look. The GR Yaris kind of reminds me of the early WRXs (GC8), looks different to that obviously. But light weight, lower wider stance and built more for performance than luxury etc. the later WRXs have lost a bit of that. Gotten larger, heavier and added more items you don’t need (CVT and eyesight).

Me too, but agree with the reviewers, pretty pricey though.

Yah, price is a problem for us regular folk. In a perfect world I'd have every car for each occasion.

I only like the C63 Station Wagon.. or C63 Estate as we like to call them.. but it'll soon move to a 4 cylinder engine.. and it's the big engine that is so appealing...

I had the first generation A-class which had the revolutionary for its time sandwich concept. Rear passenger knee space was on par with the S-class of the time. Then they switched for cost cutting purposes to the current A-class platform (AMG A45 S) which is nothing more than a premium GTI. Nothing impressive on my side about these 3 cars (Fiesta ST, AMG A45, GR Yaris). Yaris will just get the hot-hatch trophies as the newest in the category and having massive amounts of promotion.

To be fair, there is nothing about a hot hatch ,except maybe the way it drives, I've ever liked, so excuse me while my bias shows...

That explains it then. I love the WRC look, and have always loved small hatchbacks. I cannot overstate how much I am angry at Toyota for not bringing the GR Yaris to the USA.

Have you driven a Fiesta ST? There's a reason everyone all over the world said it was one of the best driving cars out there. It's the only Ford car I wish they would still sell in the USA.

And tell me how many 2 door all wheel drive cars even exist any more? Extremely rare is an understatement. I'd buy a GR Yaris just for that if I could.

Well let's see.. ah yes: 918, NSX, GTR, Huracan, R8, RS5, etc....

I think the problem is 2dr AWD isn't really priced for the average consumer. Does it really need to be 2dr? It's not like the GR Yaris is even good looking, it's like the Bugatti affect, desirable stats, ugly as sin.

The 6.3 or the 4.0?

Either way, I will never stop being angry that MB won't sell the C63 wagon in the US.
