Jesus, this makes me miss my Dad. He died of a brain tumour last year, and this makes me miss the chats we'd have as I grew up. Of course, he wasn't as wealthy as Harry, but I remember him umming and ahhing over whether he'd buy an E46 M3 after I bought my E92. So glad that he did in the end, as it gave him some good times for a while.

Really enjoyed the discussion both of you had in this video. Toyota were recently testing the GR Yaris's 3 cylinder 1.6 engine for their Corolla Hatchback hydrogen-powered internal combustion engined racecar, intended for the 24hr race in Fuji Speedway. They admit that there's a lot of issues they need to solve (packaging of the tank), but this is one of Akio Toyoda's way of prolonging the internal combustion engine. He mentioned that if Japan goes too hasty in banning internal combustion engined cars, the current business model of the car industry will collapse, thus causing a lot of job losses. We really should give him credit where its due.

I doubt the upcoming GR 86 will get as much appreciation as the GR Yaris because it won't deliver quite the straight-line acceleration that the WRC homologation special offers, but I'm just as intrigued about that too. 184 ft/lbs torque available at a much earlier RPM than the outgoing GT86's 151 ft/lbs is enough to excite me, considering that the weight hasn't changed much.

When the GR Yaris was released in Australia they had an "introductory" price of $39,950 drive away (which includes all fees and taxes) for the first 1,000 units and they were all sold within a week. Then it was increased to $44,950 drive away for another 200. Now the Toyota Australian web site lists them at $53,927 for the GR and $59,177 for the Rallye, both drive away. It seems the market is accepting the pricing as there is hardly any stock available, so your situation suggests that it is a global demand.

I’m sure the GR is a far better machine than an Integrale in many ways . Faster , better handling , better equipped.But if I had the choice I’d be taking the Delta . The GR is a rally car but the Integrale is a Rally God . 🇮🇹

Fantastic video Harry and great to see Charlie in a video too. You both compliment each other in the review of this little pocket rocket!

I thought the red was going to be "cliche' red" but seeing THIS red I love it and would love to detail one, it's brilliant 👍👍

Great video - been waiting for this. Interesting at a 6'2/3" guy I find the seat height is liveable and I need to do the mirror mod. Also found it interesting what was said about the limits, coming from a range of "warm/spicy" but never the hottest model of car ownership to the GR, it feels like it's driving to different rulesets and currently the limitation is me as the driver. Look forward to future updates from you both.
