Everything I see about the GR Yaris just bums me out even more that it won't be sold in the US.

They call it a Global Release so I had hopes it would finds its way to the US but it seems like that’s a no

If Toyota thought that there was a decently-sizable market for it (in terms of profit) then they would release it here. Unfortunetly (& sadly), the U.S. is the land of abundant muffin-tops driving their SUV/Crossover vehicles & Trucks. They would never pay $30-40K for a subcompact "Yaris" performance car - even if they could actually fit into them.

It may be faster, but who wants an overpriced vehicle you can’t service yourself with terrible resale and reliability record?

Not saying I would buy a car that requires a $2300 alternator. Just pointing out for $30-40k, a yaris wouldn't be on 99% of peoples short list. Much nicer cars can be had for that price.

Yeah, I agree performance cars are a special niche, but if I were Toyota, it’s worth a shot to try something new. To me the Supra is overpriced and being a bmw essentially with its designed drivetrain. I have yet to see one anywhere around here, I don’t see the demand for it personally. The 50k range puts a lot of people out of reach for buying something with performance.
