[@borla4491]

@@DGCNYO Toyota was literally involved with the Supra (MK5 A90/J29), it wasn't "just made by BMW". And you better thank Toyota and BMW for the partnership cause if the Supra was "built by Toyota only" the Supra MK5 would've been expensive like the new Honda NSX(and that is literally a sales flop car, same can be said for the Nissan GTR R35 despite the hype). The current Generation (G29 generation) BMW Z4 would not be in existence today if it wasn't for the MK5 A90/J29 Supra. Last generation's BMW Z4 was literally a sales flopped car . And for the record, no one gave a damn about the MK4 A80 Supra (4th Gen) which was literally a sales flop throughout the 1990s(and criticized at that for being different to the 3rd gen A70 MK3 Supra). And it's literally a dressed-up Lexus SC400(1UZ V8) and SC300(2JZ).

[@borla4491]

Remember, "GR" means "higher performance" . Just like "SRT" that is the same for the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger. So of course the "GR" Supra MK5 (a Thoroughbred Sports Car)will cost more than the" GR" Corolla "GR" is to Toyota, as "SRT" is to Dodge. The same as "SVT" is to Ford. Those Divisions just upgrade the already existing cars from the Manufacturer.

The new BRZ/GR86's are plenty practical, just for two people. I've had two mountain bikes on a tow hook mounted carrier, a four person tent on the roof and a weeks worth of food, water and clothes packed into my '22 for camping and it's been rock solid. It wasn't some off road adventure, but I'd like to see a bone stock Corolla try off-roading and get better results. No roof panel warping under load, the bike carrier didn't feel janky. 28mpg even with all the crap on it. It's the perfect daily driver for apartment dwelling millennials that have no hope of affording a house before 45..

[@coreyhipps7483]

My spouse and I love our BRZ as a car that does 99% of what we need on a regular basis, is fun for autocross, we plan to track it, and every once in a while we rent something larger when we need it. I'm not against the GR Corolla, but I'd rather have the GR Yaris, too bad that's not offered in the US.

Thank you for repeating what me and the only other guy in my corolla GR marketing focus group of car enthusiasts years ago. It doesn’t matter if it’s a 3 cylinder or less than 2liters of displacement, if it performs, if it is fast, it’s good! Everyone else in my Focus group was too, hung up on it not being a V-8 or V6 or having more than 3.8 L of displacement for whatever reason they didn’t care that it could be fast they just wanted to make sure it suited their ego on paper.

[@edwardbrandon3170]

Do you think it will live up to the reputation of Toyotas reliability? Does it leave much room for further modifications because 300hp out of a 3 cylinder 1.6 Litre engine is insane. If your focus group was hung up on v8/v6 it definitely screams American/Older Australian, This seems more targeted as a competitor to the Golf R. The new GR Corolla/Yaris kinda reminds me of the TRD (Toyota Racing Development) Aurion we had down here in Australia.

[@thedriverux]

@@edwardbrandon3170 no clue about reliability, as time will tell, but should no means should we, as consumers in my opinion, reject sight unseen. Funny you should guess about the demographics of the focus group. We were all American, but the only 2 people not caring about the # of cylinders were on the older side, while the rest of the guys and girls who needed big displacement were in their 20s. All 8 of us were driving competitor cars at the time: evo, focus RSs, STis, golf r, type r. I guess them kids just wanted what they didn’t have.

Top tier RCR, love you Roman😂😂😂

Everything about this video is fantastic.

[@TYAC_TPE_SF-Bay]

That idea that should be the AE86 successor is so true and revealing. Corolla, hatchback, Sporting are better suited than RWD (though not solid axle) and two-door.

[@MegaBlueman88]

Mr Regular has to be one of the smartest content creators on KZbin. RCR has not reached a million subs yet solely because of the genius writing and wit that both Mr Regular and Roman bring. They do not pander to the mouth breathers.

I'd argue his complete and utter ignorance of actual maintenance best practices have kept him from breakout success.

This is old skool RCR. Very good car talk, and the Nietzche was perfect.

[@matiasalmeida4112]

you know what i love of this thing? the rims aren't stupid big with stupid thin tyres just because. It's like, yup, we're doing it but we're being serious about this thing being a Corolla.

Excuse me, do I hear a high pitched V10 in the background?

When?

Hmmm. Looks like I need a GR bumper for my Toyota CHR

I never thought I would ever see a reference to the Flyers’ AHL team in an RCR video. Just when you think he’s run out of references 😂

[@rubberwoody]

how toyota managed to still get low 20s MPG out of 3 cylinders is an impressive engineering feat...

[@Stout936]

Full-time awd + an aggressive factory tune will do that. The only way this thing would get good gas mileage would be to cut its power significantly. Sure, maybe an 8 speed transmission could improve fuel economy, but who the hell would want that over the 6 speed manual?

[@ahemhimynameis]

How much fuel? Yes. To edit. The reason it’s a 3 cyl is because Toyota is experimenting with high piston circumference and high atomization injectors, it has so much torque because the 3 cyl has more overall area to be pushed down on by the explosion of the atomized fuel and air than a 4 cyl would be able to. Those bigger injectors use a shit ton of fuel so bye bye fuel economy

[@rubberwoody]

@@ahemhimynameis so it uses more fuel than a 4 cylinder with the same displacement?

[@blackberrymw]

Absolutely Totally blown away by the Shabbos Goy reference, it makes up for all the weird voices you do on the other videos. You used it correctly, the analogy was executed brilliantly. Observant Jew here, totally in awe.
