Kudos to following through unlike Hyundai and their endless teaser about some RN product that has been in concept for the last several years. I like that Toyota set out to make a product and said, you will get it soon and quietly delivered on their promise.
As a Toyota enthusiast, I’ve been DYING to see this car since it was rumored, and hooolyyy crap they really outdid themselves with this car. Hopefully I can have one parked next to my 96 Tacoma someday
Saw Toyota said they are giving every dealership 3 (2 core and 1 circuit) so if you're top 3 on your dealer's list you should be good! I'm #1 at my local dealership, crossing my fingers for a circuit!
Tried several dealers near me but none have a list. They say they don’t have an allocation yet. Still gave my name and number. Going to try in a different state.
@@johnl2613 launch edition comes out next year, and there will be editions out later on, maybe a GRMN edition later on, it won’t be a 90s situation where one specific model is a lot more valuable than others things have changed
If you want it. Commit at first opportunity. I ordered my GRY in Dec 2020, arrived last day of May 2021. Jan orders a month later weren't fulfilled until this year. Those 6 months killed me! Come to think of it, it's the 31st today. 1st Birthday :D. It's been a dream, if the GRC is anything like then you won't regret it.
@@JacesOwnWorld How do you figure? Nobody's driven it. That three-cylinder is also the most powerful in the world. It's also a homologation powertrain derived from racing. How does 100 horsepower per cylinder and an advanced AWD system sound slow? I'm willing to bet this thing will be quicker than all of its competition except the Golf R with the DSG. It's also at least 150-200 pounds lighter than the Golf. Everything else in the segment has a warmed over economy four-pot so I'm excited we're getting something like this. A smaller engine doesn't equate to less performance. Americans struggle with that.
And now that it's out it's proven slower on track than the Golf R, CTR, Cupra Leon VZX, Megane RS and Elantra/Kona/Veloster N Manual and DCT and also your mom's Yaris.
The Gods have spoken. Here in the final hours anyone who’s wants in has to learn a manual transmission. Toyota, and soon everyone, will have spoken. Our final analog victory. No “paddles” need apply. Bravo Toyota!!!
Sticking with my 18' Focus RS LE for the 1st few years of GR Corrolla production... just like the Supra they WILL make changes and work out any bugs. Thank-you Toyota for making this car happen!
Are they planning to do a continued run of this? I can't remember at this point, the GRY situation has it mixed up in my head. If not careful you don't miss your chance!
With the STI canceled, seeing there is new talent in the awd market makes me happy state side. Can't wait to see what a tune, exhaust, and intake will do with such a small displacement. Way to #SetThePace Toyota!

I’m pleased the US are getting this car after not getting an allocation for the GR Yaris. I’m open to hear the latest news from anyone in the know but I understood only 5,000 of the lower spec Core cars were being produced and only 1,500 of the Circuit Pack variant. If true, very few will be seen on the road with many ending up locked away as investments. We got 1,500 of the GR Yaris’ here in the UK and the 70 or so that are on the used market at the moment are all trading above their original buy price (can’t see me ever selling mine). I can see that scenario being repeated with the GR Corolla in the US - to any of the lucky purchasers, please drive those cars as they are meant to be driven. They are fabulous machines and across bumpy & twisty roads, in my experience they have no equal.

@@ztekz exactly haha my plan is to buy it either way then take a couple months to decide if we keep it or sell it and buy an EV instead since gas is now ridiculously unaffordable here in Canada.

omg, dream car atm, so sad car prices in my country are outrageous. a normal corolla here is for rich ppl, this gr one i would need to work 20 years of my life to get one lol
At first I thought that was a sick redline launch, but then I rewatched it and the car’s acceleration and tire behavior makes me think it’s fake. What gives? Why fake a redline launch when you can just actually do one?
yes I can't imagine what the mark up will be. I really want one but the mark up will ruin it for me. I guarantee you will be able to buy a better car for the price they will go for.

For the AWD, do you have it set at 30/70 on tarmac and 50/50 on dirt?
