The GR Corolla is finally here, and it's the first time in nearly 2 decades that Toyota has made a sports car by themselves. Question is: Do they still know how to make a sports car?

As a young adult who grew up with his parents struggling and constantly having our cars repossessed while my father slaves away at his concrete job all day just to pay the bills during the housing crisis, and then the rest of us during Covid, I’m proud to say that this year i received a call from my local Toyota dealership to confirm my deposit on my very own GR Corolla Circuit. We’ve come a long way, and now, thanks to my parents, I’ve grown stable enough to get my very first, new car.

    the Supra and the 86 have other companies in it simply because of money and profit, not that toyota doesn't know how to make a sports car. it wouldn't be profitable to design a new engine for the 86 or the Supra, it's simply cheaper to buy one from another company, or splitting profits with them.

    Not having hypersensitive steering is actually a bonus. It means you can drive it home from work in the evening and not hate how hyperalert you have to be throughout your commute. All cars should be _possible_ to drive with one hand loosely holding the steering wheel, for those times when you're just burned out and don't want to care about anything. As for the Morizo Edition: The fact that he put his own name on the car is actually a huge deal for a Japanese company. You don't take personal credit for something if you work in a Japanese company. That shows truly enormous confidence in the product to be able to justify the faux-pas.

    There's something special about a car designer taking you around his or her car, skipping as they do so with excitement, showing you all the unique details they piled on and fought the accountants to keep in the final design, everything from bodywork curves to the excruciating technical specs. Gordan Murray and Kristen Von Koenigsegg both do this so well, it's heart warming to the petrolhead.

Toyota made it clear they would limit the volume of production for these significantly BELOW demand. The dealers in the US have made it even clearer that they are utterly amoral opportunists who will suck up every last drop of your money they can get away with. I got a WRX despite it being ugly and slower than the GR Corolla because the sad reality is that these will be rare collector cars that people bought for $100K and stuck in a showroom forever.

    Well said! Literally every Toyota performance car you know had Yamaha magic breathed on it. Toyota sent normal motors to Yamaha and said “now make it fast”. Yamaha heads were on all the famous engines. The 2000gt, the RWD celiacs, the sprinter’s, both the AE86 and the later FWD ones (AE111😍), all the fast corolla’s, the Supras, the MR2, the world beating AWD rally Celicas, the LFA, the IS F, the RC F. The thing that this video misses is why the GR Corolla/GR Yaris is such a big deal. It’s literally the only performance car Toyota has made all by its self since 1962 with the sports 800! All of Toyota’s motorsports glory up till now is thanks to Yamaha

    I'm the first third of this video had me bawling my eyes out. Maybe its me just that I'm a girl but I miss my lil '97 corolla I was forced to work on as a little kid. When I got my license I hated how slow and boring it was and that was how I got into import tuning and car culture. After a lot of blood sweat and tears it was fun to drive and was how I got into street racing. It made me feel like I was that teenager whipping corners and spanking Mustangs on back country roads all over again. I miss old Toyota.

    When I bought my e210, it had no business being rigid and nimble for an econ car. Later found out the e210's foundations were then used for WRC on the Yaris. Engineers at Toyota knew what they were doing when they made the e210 have a strong foundation before GR treatment. This is the true Toyota sports car everyone's been longing for!

    With my MR2 I feel that unique Toyota sports car feel. You can drive it everyday, sun, snow or rain. Learn manual on its forgiving powertrain. Learn the limits of the car and yourself with the reassuring assistance of a friend. It starts every time and, it doesn't mind a slow commute. But get it on a track or a twisty road, and it lightens up. The Yamaha built 3SGE/GTE screams with excitement. The chassis moves and flexes just the right amount, it builds confidence through every perfect apex, through every long sweeper or from one light to the next. It want's to go faster, every intent feels like it wants to chase that next guy ahead. When you're done however you can slow down, lower the windows, turn up your favorite song and cruise home to your hearts content. That's what I've always loved, it's fast, fun, exciting, inspiring, but also calm, confident, and dependable. I've driven Type r's, skylines, GTRs, Mustangs, Porsches and nothing has felt the same as my MR2

    well first of all that was one of the best Ad placments i ever saw in a video :D Second i own a GR Yaris know for aroung half a Year and, what i find the best thing about it is that you can take it to Work every day and its not too Loud or too much especally when you have the Convenience Package with the JBL Soundsystem ect. sure the curcite packege gives you more of the Track feeling but as my only car i found it a bit much. But the nice thing is when the weather is great and you are finishd with work i often find myself taking a detour of 20 minutes cuz i know there is a nice road to let it loose and put that 261 PS to work. normaly i allways come home with a smile on my Face with my GR Yaris, its just that greate and most ppl who arent in to cars or not into Japanese cars dont even realize what it is capable of.

    So glad my son tuned me into the Ae86 and we were able to get some before they shot up in price. The 1.6 4age is legendary and wonderful but is still barely 100 happy horsepower. It's really no match for new cars. The tight ratio tranny's not going much above 100 mph. Some parts are rare,non existent or expensive others are dirt cheap and everywhere. It's old,funky and has zero nav or nannies. It's also incredibly light, easy to drive,fuel efficient,comfy,practical,really fun at normal speeds,has rally ground clearance and is appreciating in value. Nimble is a word that very few modern cars can claim. It's the magic. Pop up headlights and eurobeat intensifies.
