Of course I have no idea and have given you a thanks because I thought your reply was sound. BUT, I am confident, so much so I am willing to be 10 cents (AUD ( can I do that? Use Australian dollar sign for cents?)) that the Yaris will be more dailyable* than an Elise. *Is that a transitive verb?

I mean, the ride height on the 86 is due to Toyota internal guidelines on minimum ground clearance.
I'm not super into owning track/weekend cars, maybe if I had land and disposable income it would be more appealing, but I like cars that I can drive all the time. And spending some time in a decently modified F56, I have a hunch that GP works isn't all that hype. I couldn't find a straight answer on if there GP comes with an LSD, does anyone know? Even with the stock detuned B48 at 189hp it badly needs a diff and -3 degrees of camber if you want to push it hard and not eat tires. |

According to the Car review (as referenced above) it does have a mechanical diff with maximum locking ratio of 31%. The car only comes in AT and the engine is the same unit found in the new BMW 135i.. |

GM is very good at killing off brands. I agree the later Saabs are untouchable crap, with the major exceptions of the ones that are WRX's in disguise. The earlier ones were awesome. |

OK, so let's say you get the GR Corolla, or GR Yaris for you lucky European bastards. What mods would you intend to do with it?
I'd probably start with the TOM'S lip kit they make for the Corolla. Of course that's based if they don't change the front bumper too much. After that, probably a tune, drop in air filter, and a catback. I think that would be perfect for me. Springs, too, possibly.

1. Looks better in Black definitely
2. It kind of looks like a mini CHR Two phrases I never thought would be said together.

The video is also very entertaining with subtitles and autotranslate turned on. I'm going to have to figure out how to work this into my next technical discussion with a user.
