While Americans have only been teased with the promise of the hot new , Europe can actually buy it—and at nearly $39,000, it’s going to cost a pretty penny.

At current exchange rates, Toyota’s announced UK price of the Yaris of converts to roughly $38,800 in green stacks, though pricing in Europe can vary significantly from the price Toyota may hypothetically market the GR Yaris at in the U.S. if it were ever sold here.
