Standard millennial quote.

This could be the first new car I ever buy, genuinely excited by this.

[davidc1]

very cool. love it. reminds me of the mazda 323 4wd turbo 1.6 from 86 , and thats a good thing.

"How often on PH do we grumble that things aren't what they used to be? There aren't three-door hot hatches anymore, there aren't motorsport-inspired cars anymore, nobody shows off real engineering nous unless it's on a million-pound hypercar."

Who'd have thought it.... company builds something that consumers actually want = demand. These will fly off the shelves come release.

This is The Question.....

[s m]

Be interested to see how well it goes

Well done that it hasn’t succumbed to slushboxism too

[Krikkit]

So much want, what a combo.

[cerb4.5lee]

I am liking this very much!

This should be great fun to drive and I'm very excited by it.

It does seem strange to me that Toyota have spent money developing this...yet they took the easier/cheaper tie in with BMW route with the Supra.

At last...one car manufacturer with some balls. Bravo!

The power/torque figures and kerbweight seem pretty fine to me. 0 to 60 in under 5.5 seconds will do for me. Some might want more though for sure.

This looks absolutely brilliant!

Hopefully it still has the back seats. A really hot hatch needs back seats. Otherwise, what's the point of keeping the hatchback shape.

Need more power.
My Evo 6 RS's were circa 380 bhp.
Need at least that surly????

Definitely!

They need to sort the Supra out now with a 3 pedal manual too!

Just buy an M2 manual instead? Same thing.

Spoke to Toyota in Munich, they expect further information in April/May
We will see

Evo's were two classes above this though.

Never thought I would see the day I got excited about a Yaris but I will definitely be paying this some serious consideration as my first ever brand new car...fingers crossed it’s kept below £35k, hopefully closer to £30k.

Can somebody confirm this - the press release makes no mention and I've not found photos that show up clearly.
Definitely want rear seats!
