Why, oh why, oh fucking why has Toyota decided to build a 118bhp Toyota GR Yaris RS using the GR body, fwd and only AT.. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water!!

Would you want to buy the real thing and then have a "lookalike" show up half the price.. why??? Toyota, why???

"Toyota has extended the reach of its 260hp Yaris GR by adding lower-spec and track-ready versions to the range in Japan."

Didn't they do this with the GT86? I believe there was an RC base version intended for track.

Yeah. Unpainted bumpers, steel wheels, and I believe no radio or AC.

It's quite common in Japan. Honda have done it with plenty of TypeR models. Cheaper for the teams as the blingy stuff isn't needed. In my experience these seem to oddly be more expensive to import due to rarity/cool factor.

"10-speed Sequential Shiftmatic paddle shifting provides a manual-like experience"
Mmmm....I'm not sure about that part.


My italics.

There's a hoot!

A ten-speed CVT! Zounds!

Will it come with bar end shifters, or does that cost extra?

Isn't a 10 speed cvt an oxymoron?

Toyota is building a lower spec GR4 but they are also building a "granny" version using the GR4 body but lower powered engine, front wheel drive and AT... So it will look like the GR4 but won't have the power etc...

Whatever they gotta do to make a profit and help us American's get all the goodies in our Corolla, I support.
