This IS the car to get for those that were wishing Subaru brought back the hatchback WRX. Dimensionally identical to the 2011-2014 hatch WRX, but with reliable fuel efficient power and modern day amenities.

[@decodeddiesel]

With the lack of availability and price gouging, this car is all but vaporware.

[@crowntug]

Hopefully they start producing them in higher numbers in the coming years

[@melondoc]

Amazingly cool car at MSRP but laughable at “market price”

[@samjaw82]

Hoping in 2 years toyota makes more and sells at msrp or I feel it will be the ford focus rs all over again.

[@RidgeRunner4501]

I cannot wrap my head around why they are doing such low numbers

[@RidgeRunner4501]

@@melondoc there are plenty of dealers that don’t mark up, there are even forums online with easy to access lists to exactly what dealers don’t mark up

[@jdmbren13]

you loved my first car( the rcf ) and now you love my new car! lets go! good stuff matt!

[@reoxex]

@steven mcgeorge the drivetrain was built for homologation in the Yaris prior to rule change. It’s essentially a larger GR Yaris, so it’s as close to a homologation rally car as possible. Actually - it’s closer than any WRX STI we ever received since our cars ran a 2.5 vs the 2L max capacity in wrc back in the day

[@felixstump2407]

When does the PCOTY issue come out?

[@spyderzetta3391]

What I don't like is that every youtuber/journalist are ONLY (it seems like) reviewing or using the Morizo or Circuit Editons. Most people will own the Core. That's the one youtubers/journalists should focus on...

[@Toyota4Life]

They have to review all. Not focus on one.

[@HUMC5]

Matt Farah drove the normal one recently. Video review might be up soon on his channel.

[@ZachAlletson]

@@Toyota4Life I haven’t seen any major reviews done on the Core. They are only focusing on the Circuit and Morizo editions, which here in Canada are almost impossible to buy. My local dealer said they “might get 1 or 2 Circuit editions over the next year”. Really no point in focusing on the models that people can’t buy. Spyder Zetta is absolutely right.

[@02bluehawk]

The circuit is just a fully loaded core with the morizo's hood

[@lucienpetrus9432]

Damn I want one from Cape Town South Africa

[@bjsimon802]

Akio Toyoda had input on this version, obviously his name is one this special version.

[@instantchow]

it might be time to upgrade my champaign 2009 LE

[@Jtbg80]

All that money and they could make a better interior

[@Bristecom]

That's the consequence of basing it on an economy car, which in my opinion is the biggest downside of these types of cars. Not necessarily a deal-breaker for most people though.

[@markdennison8326]

The longevity/durability of this motor? Time will tell. Would love to see a teardown after 50k miles.

[@ryanw3907]

GR Yaris has been out for 3+ years. Might be a good indicator of G16E 50k reliability at this point.

[@hellatightdude]

It’s a Toyota. Enough said.

[@stevenmcgeorge1983]

One problem with this video. The GR Corolla is not a homologated rally car, yet it's referred to as one multiple times.

[@KN-jw7ts]

Well…..here in the states, it’s the closest thing to a homologation special that we’ve ever gotten. And not hard to understand that every mechanical/electromechanical component of this car was motor sports derived and yanked straight out of the Yaris.

[@ShadowBend]

I'd be curious to see track results between a GR Corolla and a WRX. Is the Corolla worth the premium price?

[@leeengland1748]

Search GR yaris its the actual homologation special and has lots of vs videos

[@supraJZA80s]

This would definitely be quicker than a WRX.

[@RidgeRunner4501]

It would take an STI to compete with this

[@mister_ray]

Mexico gets the three door GR Yaris.

[@leeengland1748]

And europe, i have one 😊

[@BillyBob-fd5ht]

Be like trying to get Taylor Swift tickets. Impossible

[@Bob-fz4es]

Would love to have one but probably need to learn how to drive a stick first ?

[@inikkor61]

Might be a great car but let's face it, it looks like a carnival ride.

[@lambrosstamos4494]

Just modify as ARA rules stipulate and go rally.

[@AM-uk7jv]

I hate that Toyota sends in a ringer trim that no one without unlimited money can acquire. What about sending the Core which is more 'attainable' for the overwhelming majority of buyers.

[@hellatightdude]

Hey I have a Morizo, where’s all this unlimited money coming from? Sure isn’t coming to me lol

[@justsaiyansteve]

Dealer msrp mark up.

[@ricktrue8441]

Who cares, you'll never see one of these things.

[@Thepulsewidth]

????? Howd you fit in that car bro

[@ApexMotow]

You getting bigger every time I see you. Love your content but it's time to put down the cookies mate
