but funding one of those is a pain in the butt. plus i want to keep mine an autobox because i dont like manuals so still leaves those really rare seats that i need. i found a secondary alternative but i cant reveal what because id like them first. regardless a warrantied factory build new car will always fit better then any vehicle someone puts together because its all automated and perfect. so we want the GRMN in america and canada. its really simple stop walling us. Edit: forgot to add ive been assembling a GR for a while now on my own yaris and have almost 90% of the parts documented but there really expensive and one off so it will take some time. also forgot to add that SPAIN get a LHD version of the GRMN. ive always wondered if these are made to order..... hmmmm.................... |

do you want the car or not here in america. i disagree with that because the GRMN is built on the same plant as where the yaris is built and hand assembled perfectly.
they had to dev new processes to build 7 GRMN a day and to paint the roof black, they also have people from lotus and whatnot working on the same line to put it together and had entirely new training processes, the 3 door is much more rigid then the 4 door, spot welds " just marketing" to support those extra doors making it heavier and a "sport tuned suspension" read the same suspension but marketing i want to see it, I'm tired of toyota making bland and horrible cars. time to step up the game its 2018. you may be old and disagreeable but im not one for buying a fast sporty yaris that can put porsches to shame for half the money. and id like to add that before everyone jumped on the corolla engine wagon i had already worked out the entire deal with jerkratt but have moved onto another engine now because everyone seems to take my ideas :c |

I very much doubt we will see a GRMN yaris in the US. We always get the short end of the stick with hot hatches.

people dont want toyotas performance vehicles because they undercut the market and perform better then the american cars which have a higher profit margin because american companies are all about selling and how much money they can make and how much they can sell where the forgien companies ie toyota follow kaizen and much different business practices that have practically sunk the american market ie why the baillouts happened and why people bought jap cars in the 80s during the gas crisis. this whole restriction thing is antiquidated and causes the us to be in further and further debt i have spent what about 3 grand total importing parts from japan and putting together my yaris? its a pain. and its all the same stuff. Edit: crash standards on a tiny yaris bumper with a diffuser and 2014 style long overhand lights arent going to save you more then the standard kit or be any worse for that matter. the GR/ GS rear lights from japan are actually LED and are brigher and safer in all conditions and more visible and are non pulsing type sporty or not its all going to fold the same in a crash 8 inch crash bumpers or euro crash bumpers. also those crash bumpers for the jap and euro models are called type B or type C i forget you can get it in my GSIC that was posted to another thread. |

Turbo
I would be happy with a normal yaris with a turbo.If crappy chevy/GM can put out a car with 138HP spark why doesnt toyota do this.It would be a true RS instead of just sideskirts and different seats.I love the yaris but next car will have more power.

I hear you about a true sports segment for the subcompact from Toyota, but I reality Toyota's focus seems to be reliability and sports cars are not up there in priority

Too bad.130HP yaris HB would be perfect.
GTI for my next car, kind'a weary of the reliability though. |

GTI would no doubt be fun, just get used to chasing electrical issues and fixing broken motors and relays. Fun var none the less just dont expect near yaris reliability that's all
