As far as know that IC spray is a Japan only thing currently just like they are the only place where you can get all the convenience and performance features on the same car. Your post made me curious and I did take another look under the trunk. Here are some pics. So from the look of...

Aye. Hi there. Yeah Im part of quite a few forums but at the moment Piston Heads is definitely most active community around the car that I have found.

After a few hiccups mine is finally here :cool: I just couldn't stop grinning today and the car attracted quite a few interested looks and compliments. I also must say that the pearl white is quite an interesting color. Sometimes it looks like a normal white but when I parked the car in the...

It's still pretty new so the final verdict will still have to be made but I think it won't have to be ashamed against the FK8 engine. Quite the contrary in fact. I mean here are two interesting videos. One from a drag strip in Australia with a car without the LSDs and one from a 0-230 kph...

Ah yes. The dreaded question. On one hand it's easy to answer but on the other hand it's also hard. You see I think the GR Yaris is better than the GRMN in pretty much every way and I think many would not disagree. The gearshift, the pedals, the seating position, the steering, the steering wheel...

So I'm back from the test drive and what can I say? Holy st what a car. I am not a professional racing driver or have the urge to be one. So do not expect in-depth descriptions of how the car behaves at the limit and what happens there. First the engine. What a bull. You can tell that the...

Here is the official English presentation of the car. This is almost 30 minutes long but has a lot of interesting details and information.

Well reviews are pretty good I would say :) Top Gear: "The GR Yaris is superb - the best Toyota we've ever driven." 10 out of 10. Autocar: "All-paw Yaris might be the most exciting addition to the hot hatchback market in a decade. Wickedly purposeful, and wonderfully evocative of fast 4x4s...

Gran Turismo players can rejoice. The car will be added along with a Time Trial event on November 13th to the game https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/news/00_4311773.html

So it looks like currently all kinds of journalists are driving the cars and next week Tuesday there are allowed to publish their reviews and impressions. This fellow has already posted something though. It's not a full-fledged review but his thoughts and impressions. Obviously he is not...

Hmm I didn't watch the entire video but I think I see what's the deal there and I find it honestly a bit worrying. Because these guys call themselves JDM Masters and don't seem to get what most Japanese performance cars are about. It's about executing what they set out to do perfectly...

An interesting video about a bit of off-road fun. The curious thing is that the car is clearly not stock since it has a working anti-lag system and judging from the standing start it could even have a sequential gearbox. It sounds pretty good in general and that turbo flutter at 1:46 :love...

I think this is one of the first English First Look videos available. And this is also an interesting one since it includes a dyno run. It's in Japanese so I can't tell what he is saying exactly but the numbers are interesting since they could mean that Toyota was conservative with the...

Im so happy right now because just this morning I got an E-Mail with a Status Update from from Toyota. My car is in Production :D Im in Germany so this should also be good news for all the people in LHD countries. We apparently don't have to wait long either.

People from the UK have a reason to be happy. Apparently the first boat from Japan with cars is on its way. Multiple people have been told their cars are among them. The estimated arrival is somewhere around early-mid November.

Oh nice. I guess these 100 will be gone very soon too. Something I have noticed while looking at the UK configurator. The car only needs 95 octane fuel which means Toyota has actually left some untapped potential in the engine by not utilizing 98 octane.

For all the curious. The UK configurator for the GR Yaris is now live. Since a few people complained about it they seem to have added now a third model. The convenience pack which includes stuff like the HUD, parking sensors, Blind spot monitoring, etc. Adaptive cruise control and lane assist...

Here is a video of a Japanese fellow who already got his GR Yaris delivered and he immediately got a lot of GR parts installed. The video does have some English subtitles. Guess it won't be much longer until the first owner reviews will come in. Also good and bad news coming in from...
