I can see some aluminum body parts being part of the package but not so much the carbon fiber roof that the GR Yaris received. So long as there is the same 6-speed manual AWD setup (with Torsens) offered alongside an automatic I’ll be happy. An auto-only GR Corolla or impossible to find M/T...

That’s a perfect pair you have! I believe the hype. I wish we had an importation exemption of some kind to be able to get it here and have normal use of it after doing so. As an American kid who grew up watching international WRC and FIA rally racing TV coverage in the 1990’s, who felt the...

I have read through both of those thread links. Still no one in either of them even once mentions how this might be connected to the development of the GR Corolla with a version of the GR Yaris’ driveline. Maybe Toyota really has no plans for a very limited and high priced Yaris using whatever...

Erm... okay then perhaps Motor1 is just throwing this at us for a slow news day but I don't think a more powerful GR Yaris variant for any countries that get it is "fake news" considering that Toyota is already reportedly developing a sub-300hp version of the 1.6L I-3 turbo engine for the global...

So Nissan got well into prototyping the S16 many years ago... but did an about face and killed the entire Silvia model line dead (thanks for that, Carlos Ghosn *sarcasm*). Then not long ago they came up with the fully drivable IDx concept with very clear Datsun 510 styling cues.... and did...

Now DMV offices in Rhode Island are getting onto this de-registering of JDM vehicles bandwagon. So far it only affects Kei class vehicles. Hopefully it won't expand to include regular JDM imported vehicles as we've seen with Maine's DMVs. https://jalopnik.com/rhode-island-is...ted-1847697896

What is the “CSC”? A lot of people use the Nissan CD009 series of 6MT’s in swaps, especially with 2JZ’s. Looking up the 370Z it uses the FR6R31A version of the CD009 which is sought after by those same people. Maybe it’s no T56 Magnum but it’s quite popular. Now the auto-blip feature in the...

Understood, no worries. But yes... compete. The new Z offers a proven manual transmission design and that’s a huge draw for the fun factor. Same reason the GR86 6MT is very appealing.

I said “compete”. I see a lot of 370Z’s around so they seem to be holding up just fine, though a factory turbo Z will be much easier to modify for boost/more boost than the 370’s old NA engine. The manual transmission that they are re-using with some minor redesign is known to be decently...

Glad they are going through with this model after all. Hopefully it gets a U.S. and Canadian release as well. We have expected the 7-speed DCT transmission since A70TTR mentioned it months ago. Sad to see that there is no 6MT option but that now falls to the regular 2022-2026 Supras if...

I expected a much longer video going into many more specs but they did cover all the most important ones. Just.... almost nothing else? Overall I like it. It ticks every box for the equipment you would want available. Now here's hoping they did a good job tuning the engine and chassis.

I never owned a 90's Integra but I did sample a GS-R three door manual edition and I did own a last-generation Prelude Type SH. A great car in its own right if overshadowed by the Integra Type R and Civic Type R (JDM) of the day. It's impossible today but back then I was fine with both the...

I knew the R35 was a big car but I never realized just how much bigger compared to other sportscars. The real surprise here is the Lotus Evora. Even as a 2+2 I didn’t figure it to be larger than a Z and MKV. A modern Porsche 911 should also be in this size comparison.

Yikes! That's pretty bad. Side question though: Have you found their aftermarket 4x4 drivelines to be reliable in your fleet? They're certainly not a cheap option per each unit.

This isn't a good development, at least for camper and off road van enthusiasts in the state of Maine especially considering that NO small 4x4 cab-over small/midsize van lifestyle vehicles like this have been officially sold in the United States since the Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro (4x4) went out...

I've been hearing rumblings about this in the tuning community for the last few years. This practice of checking for an ECU tune has already been a regular thing when people take engine swapped cars (that are OBD2 models) through the BAR certification process but it so far has not been for...

There won't be any kind of legislative exemption for high performance and highly driver-focused vehicles per se, much as that would be nice. It's not going to be difficult to make fast vehicles with new green technology anyway which is where all legislation and policy is pointed towards. The...

If that's the new WRX then it's officially gone to full blown Legacy size. I liked the 2005-2009 Legacy GT (turbo) but the car in those renderings appear to be even larger (yeesh). I'll await the official reveal. Hopefully it won't be much larger than the current Impreza.

All of them look great! An additional yellow paint color option would be nice and appropriate for this model though.
