Nice one, ty! Anyone got details on the workings of the AWD system? https://youtu.be/IpHO5ibE5xE
Now red or black? Hm. Red I think
.
Edit: video proof that a CVT version exists (as a concept)

Edit2: I think we need to come up with some sticker thanking Prius drivers for their contribution to Toyota's fleet emissions

Actually that is a good point. Toyota got into the hybrid game very early, and in Europe, nearly everything they sell is hybrid. This means that they can easily hit EU emissions targets which then gives them the franchise to create bonkers cars like this..I read elsewhere that VW and PSA have stated that they will exit the city car (e.g. VW Up, Citroen C1) market because they cannot make the economics work given the emissions targets. Toyota have stated that they will stay in because they are able to make very small hybrid systems and make them cheap enough for a city car.

Other brands, largely dependent on ICE diesel and petrol with huge parc are not so fortunate, so not only will they drop more emitting models, will probably have to drop others in range too in order to reduce fleet average.
I put a deposit down on Saturday.
Dealer thinks they’ll end up around £35k optioned. Will be ordering the track pack. Orders should be taken April/May for September delivery.
I never thought we’d see another car like the Pulsar GTi-R, the 323 GT-X/GT-R or Impreza STI Type R again but here we are.
Roll on September

And amidst all the doom & gloom, this little Yaris

. Congrats and thanks for the data point! Hope they really end up in customer hands by September. Off to harass the local Toyota dealer next weekend... Kolbenkopp said:

Indeed ann with you a lot people, I remember the days of the Nissan Sunny GTI-R very well, I had 6 of those in the past, all Sunny and all LHD, those were mine, sadly old scanned in pictures (did not had a digital camera back then)and ow, I tuned them all a bit, 270hp minimum and some 300hp, also lowered them a bit and a bit bigger wheels for better road work.

Regarding emissions evidently the GR will be more polluting than say a 1l i3 city car, or an alternatively fuelled vehicle, however I expect many potential customers will be coming from larger vehicles with much worse emissions, after all its ‘just a Yaris’ by dimensions and weight (ok its the biggest and heaviest Yaris, but it’s still a small car)
It’s interesting to think how modern fleet emissions effects manufacturers ability to produce cars seen as exciting, in many ways this car suggests a return to the heyday of the 90s where Toyota and others were able to produce fantastic cars that offered the customer much more bang for their buck than many of the traditional alternatives.. I can’t wait to drive one

Awesome, love a Pulsar. My sister and brother in law had a matching pair, I also bought and exported one for a friend in Finland. Fun cars and ow, I tuned them all a bit, 270hp minimum and some 300hp, also lowered them a bit and a bit bigger wheels for better road work.

Let's hope they stay on target!. Congrats and thanks for the data point! Hope they really end up in customer hands by September. Off to harass the local Toyota dealer next weekend... Captain Obvious said:
Thats contrary to Toyotas own info with their Japanese website saying deliveries will be at the end of 2020. It is also all over the website that the period for specifying the 1st Edition is July start to end. Given the lag between specifying the 1st editions in Japan and their no doubt prioritization in terms of delivery, I really really doubt you'll see a GR Yaris delivered before November 2020.
I'm prepared for a delay. Good things come to those who wait eh?Edited by anonymous-user on Wednesday 22 January 12:42

No but on the link I posted earlier contains a page which covers ALL the available options per spec level etc.
Thanks for posting that, the options look cool. I hope we get everything in the UK, sports seats especially!Edited by anonymous-user on Wednesday 22 January 12:48
