you do realize that its a USDM spec yaris LE 3 door with SE rear brakes and avics one off brakes with the yaris sedan rain sensor for the wipers and the Lotus Elise or whatever corolla motor 2zrfe with a magussion r900 supercharger v6 injectors and a 6 speed gearbox with a tortion LSD you can build this entire car for when i priced out for about 10 grand a piece not including the labor and time and the unique seats that come with it. alot of the stuff im not mentioning because its privy to my own collection but its not complex or hard. getting it to sell here? unlikely. the focus RS was a hothatch and it barely sold.

but selling it for 50k unlikely getting to sell for 25-30k easy alot of it is just going to lotus and toyota of Europe and japan and going give me this and this and this they already make an LHD version for spain so its probably most likely in the works, i talked to a spain owner on IG because im connected to all the GRMN owners and ive even went off on one for not being happy enough with a rare car (ungrateful bastard)

in reality when i had pull i was part of the push behind it i had talked with toyota UK about putting a v6 in the yaris for a good 300hp but have found its way too front heavy and would turn the car into a litteral drag car with no turning radius at all and totally kill the dyamics, since then i have been researching other engines that can fit into the vehicle but not have had much luck. most of them are easy though because it would save on development costs lots of drag and drop and frankenstinening very minimal cost from toyota.

but nobodys going to buy this unless it comes with a telescoping steering wheel, id rather see toyota add one then make a GRMN and add power/ heated seats and NVH in the doors with dyanamat and more interior options and colors and rims and the TRD sportivo kit be a dealer option and the rear swaybar be a dealer option and rear disc brakes be a dealer option for the 3 doors then see a grmn,

if anything they should give us a supercharger kit that bumps it up another 100 horse and is AT and MT compatable and that would really sell the car and give it some styling that reflects how the car is sold in japan currently it looks like a giant whale/ fish/ open gaped puppy dog and is just anemically underpowered, ive read the specs on the 1nzfe pentaroof head, aluminum everything its just not worth it to tune unless toyota lets tuners crack the ECU and even then what? 300hp out of a 1.5L will unrealiable as crap

so its a tough market in america not to mention canada where it snows? performance FWD that has a bangy tortion LSD on blizzaks would be a nightmare.

so ill sign but i dont see much coming out of this, ive been pushing for months now to get it to america and i was the mild catalist behind it.
