Come On Toyota Bring It Home
Come On Toyota Bring It Home-November 2024

Image for article titled Come On Toyota Bring It Home

While Europe is busy playing with the new 268-horsepower rally special, us Americans are just going to have to wait for whatever possible hot hatchback the automaker keeps teasing us with.

While a hot version of the U.S.-market Toyota Corolla hatchback has been teased going back a couple of years now, Toyota still isn’t making any promises about its future performance lineup. But it’s still dropping hints, and the latest comes on a company webpage for the new Yaris GR for all those Americans sad they can’t get it.

From , mine:

GR Yaris dominated the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon, stirring up an outcry in North America over its absence.

And it’s easy to see why. A radical hot hatch, GR Yaris is equipped with an all-new 268-horsepower, turbocharged 3-cylinder engine; a rally-derived GR-FOUR All-Wheel Drive system; and a track-proven suspension. It’s the same engineering that helped to make TOYOTA GAZOO Racing a dominant force in the World Rally Championship.

One that continues to push the boundaries of performance. And one that can only come from TOYOTA GAZOO Racing. Are you with us?

Well, Toyota, for starters I’d like to call the GR Yaris my “own,” but it seems you’re not going to let that happen. So I will take what I can get, as usual.

A Toyota designer that a GRMN performance package and GRMN performance model are coming to the Corolla a year ago, and Toyota has been busy locking down . Another leak through 2022, but a new hot hatch isn’t on that list. Perhaps it’ll be 2023, then.
