We anticipate the GR Corolla will use the same 257-hp, 1.6-liter inline-three as the GR Yaris, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. I
Fuck the yaris it is a tiny POS. Hell the corolla is just about almost perfect for 4 people. I would seriously consider it at this point, but I have something way too similar.
Corolla hatch is 172" long how the FK is that not a small car?

That's a FWD open diff big 4 door sedan, not a little AWD 3 door hatch. We don't get the fun small cars here.

It's not likely to be AWD nor is it likely to be the hatch. Just a Corolla with more power, a body kit, and stupidly large grounded to the ground.
I don't see the point of making it as big as a GTI anyway. I'd buy the GTI every time.

Article points to more than that... Toyota is something that rarely needs any sort of work, and it usually comes at an attractive price point. None of which can be said about the VW. GTI tops out at nearly 40k, this should be substantially cheaper.

Dunno. We'll see I guess. I'm not buying the thing regardless, I'm on my dangerously slow RWD for at least 5 more years. After that hopefully something with the engine behind me.

Well I am unlikely to get it either because my next vehicles will not be econo oriented as the Pooper already does that for me. And for now I have no plans to sell it.
But if I was in the market in 2021... I think it would have been an epic competitor. I really like the new corolla. A LOT. It has better styling than the GTI IMO. But size wise the GTI is a bit better... Corolla is small in the back.

I’m bi-curious about it. The Fiesta is at 110k miles and climbing. If it has a decent seat and LSD option, and is priced just below a Lobster N, it could be enticing for me.
There’s a lot of outside factors at play that would determine if I actually spend money on one, but none the less.

And they would on driving to work with their CRV's and Foresters because 2 inches of snow
You're exactly right.
One main reason why I don't bother with winters is that when 3 inches of snow comes up, everywhere is closed here in NOVA but when I get my bimmer, i will go with summer/winter route

by this thread now. I thought it was cars you’d actually buy vs aspirational vehicles
