I don't think we get the GR Yaris though, do we? I mean, here in the colonies. We never get the cool small cars.

No, but we might get this engine and drivetrain in a Corolla GR hatch!

Rumors say it might come to the US. It won't sell for shit at it's current price point, though. Americans want crossovers and SUVs.

Someone needs to teach him how to launch a FWD car.

Now we just need the Mazdaspeed 3 back and a turbocharged Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V.

I've heard varying things about a possible Corolla GR, including using a different engine (though I like the Yaris one). Americans are iffy on three cylinders maybe.

Sad but true. of course, the wonky safety and fuel economy regulations (yes we need both, but the existing ones are often irrational and just bizarre) have made SUVs super attractive to manufacturers as well. If the regulatory structure was better, we might have more options.

Basically this To be honest, I thought it would do worse though.

Just saw the drag and roll race last night. Was this priced similar with the type R?

Honestly I feel that I could have done a ton better - that guy doesn't own a type R so he was just driving through wheel spin for most of that I'm certain lol. It takes a light touch but done right this thing isn't that bad 0-60. Certainly not it's forte by any stretch but those conditions + that driver (not his skill, being used to that car) made this a bit more funny than serious to me.

I think it was about 1000 pounds difference in price.
