Ah something I forgot to mention. It was a bit obvious before but I really noticed it when I took a seat and looked around. Visibility was sacrificed in the name of sportiness and looks. The car does have some relatively big blind spots. You won't really see much if anything on your back right...

So in the morning I went to see one live. Still a pre-production car without the circuit pack and in pearl white. And what shall I say? A beast indeed. I'm 1,85m and I had plenty of room. The seat still had a way to go so I think taller folk can get comfortable too. Seating position is good...

A new promotion video is available. No facts or anything. Just entertainment :) Also I don't know all the facts about the engine itself but from pictures you can see that the engine is an open deck design.

Here is the Japanese brochure for the car https://toyota.jp/pages/contents/request/webcatalog/gryaris/gryaris_main_202009_spread.pdf And for the optional extras https://toyota.jp/pages/contents/request/webcatalog/gryaris/gryaris_acc_202009_spread.pdf I sadly can't speak Japanese (yet) but...

Even a real one exists now. Daigo Saito posted about his new project car. https://www.instagram.com/daigosaito87/ Oh yeah it also will be RWD only with a 1000 HP 2JZ. The drift life I suppose

A slew of new stuff to see First it looks like Rocket Bunny got something planned for the car too You can now also take a look at all the official upgrade parts that Toyota will produce for the GR Yaris. A video showing all the stuff is also available. Right now everything is in...

I just ordered mine. High Performance version in Pearl White. Non-committal delivery date is April 2021 so yeah it will still probably be a while until I actually get it but I was rarely so excited about a new car. Pretty much everything I like about a car united in one package. :dance:

A few new videos from Japan have arrived. Most of them don't show that much stuff we haven't seen before but this one is interesting. Starting at 4:50 he showcases a version that has a bodykit, decals and a different exhaust installed. Might be purchasable in the same way Hyundai does it...

But that was always going to be the case. The road car is just a base for the racing version to be built on. It still will be closest thing that you can buy to a modern Rallye car for the street though. Here is also another video of a fun drive in a prototype.

The way I understand it the GR Yaris will of course compete at the top level. Just in 2022 instead of 2021 which makes sense. They got rid of the unnecessary step of introducing a new car for a single year and then having to change it again the following year. Instead they are doing both things...

So I just reserved one online for myself. Don't know if that offer is Germany exclusive or not but they offer a special Leasing deal until 30.06. 344€ for the High Performance Version in a 4 Year lease. The base version costs 298€. No down payment. They also go down 5K from the list price making...

I just got an email. Online reservations will start tomorrow at 12 PM German time. I guess the same will be true for the rest of Europe.

Here is also a video of a racing version of the GR Yaris

Im pretty sure it is only about building 25K. Keep in mind also that at the Tokyo Auto Salon they also debuted a version that has the same body but none of the performance being just FWD and with a CVT that is hooked to a NA 1.5 L engine with 118 hp. Nobody knows if that version will actually...

That's way lower than what most people including me expected. Toyota is certainly going all-in on this. There is no way they are making much if any money selling the car at that price but growing the GR brand is probably one of the goals and this Yaris will help a lot in doing that. I think way...

Just found these pictures but they seem to be from the Tokyo Auto Salon which was already over a month ago. Anyway I think tuners will have a lot of fun with this car because of its potential and because of general JDM car culture. This already looks very serious and good. Stance and height are...

I honestly wouldn't count on it. The GR Yaris serves as the base of the new Rally car and therefore has been designed with the input of the motorsport team. The Corolla won't have that.

I would say my Yaris GRMN neither drives, sounds or looks unsporty but of course the new turned it up a lot. After all it had a way higher budget.

There is a Toyota Collection over here in Germany and the new GR Yaris debuted there today. I drove there mainly to take a look at it because Im very interested in it. Might be my next car if the finances are working out. Anyway press pictures are always one thing but in person cars can give...
