Definitely disagree with that.

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

You made a very generalized statement about factory cars being "perfect and automated." I'm sure the GRMN is built to a higher standard as it's a limited run car, so yes it could potentially be better than a standard yaris. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't be able to build a car in my garage that could perform just as well for less, though.

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.

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.

"Doing" a 138 hp car is a lot different than building a reliable 138hp turbo car. GM does a lot of things and they di a lot of things poorly. Sub compact cars and turbos are some.of those things. Ask all the turbo Cruze owners with blown turbo oil and water lines...

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.

Trust me, a 130hp yaris is awesome but never perfect. Ine you got 130 you want more and so on and so forth.

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

well they should of just build a sports line with the yaris, nobody asked for a butchering of the Ae86 and the supra. sometimes its best to just let things be things and live on in unaffordability. ferrari does it porsche does it, so what if a supras expensive now its prevent everyone and there momma building a 1200hp car for under 30k it undercuts companies like bugatti and all the supercar owners and is bad for the economy like real bad.

now everyone just LS swaps and has an instant 500hp car.
