When the first debuted, it came with a sales pitch made for Bring a Trailer flippers: The company wanted to build , ensuring that every single model maintains its desirability and value. But after months of and wait times for buyers to actually get behind the wheel, it’s become apparent that demand is even higher than Toyota predicted.

So, in turn, production is rising. The company has promised increased production volume for the GR Corolla in 2023, as well as an extension to the car’s Circuit Edition trim — originally intended to be a first-model-year exclusive. Your prayers have been answered: Getting your hands on Toyota’s hottest hatch is about to get easier.

Toyota didn’t specify exactly by how much GR Corolla production will increase, but the company did say how many Circuit Edition cars would be built for 2023: 1,500. This makes the trim an interesting proposition, as it’s no longer the highly-collectible first-year-only option that Toyota originally promised, but the number still seems limited enough for the Circuit to be sought out. Of course, that too could change — the company said that “[p]roduction of the Circuit Edition model for 2025 and beyond is still under consideration.”

This is excellent news for hot hatch fans, who have been desperately trying to buy GR Corollas for the price promised by Toyota. As dealers begin seeing more and more inventory, we can all hope that they’ll ease up on the markups that have turned these hatchbacks into $50,000 or even $60,000 cars. The flippers and speculators may cry, sure, but buyers who want to actually drive their GR Corollas should be heartened by the news.

Bentley Continental GT V8: The Jalopnik Review
Bentley Continental GT V8: The Jalopnik Review
Bentley's seen eights come and go; the 8-litre coach of 1930, the cloth-seated Eight "training Bentley" of the 1980s, the Le Mans-winning Speed 8 prototype of 2003. Two of those even had V8 engines, like the new Continental GT V8. Can the more-fuel-efficient octomill match the mighty W12? Let's find...

For $22,000, Would You Remain Dino Denied?
Dino was the birth name of Ratpacker Dean Martin, who was famous for both his baritone and his boozing. The 3-litre V8 in today's Dino 308 GT4 probably also makes beautiful music, but will the car's price drive you to drinking? A running, registered car for only a grand? Why...

For $1,000, Dust Off Those Sheryl Crow CDs
In Web parlance using all-caps equates to yelling. The ad for today's Celica GT ragtop is caps locked and loaded, but is its price anything to shout about? It's the height of summer here in the northern hemisphere, and for those hot days and warm nights nothing is better than...

For $9,500, Ride In The LimouSven!
If you're Swedish and are planning to attend next year's prøm, then you'll definitely want to roll in today's stretched S90. That is of course if you can afford both its price and the cost of a chaufför. Desirable as it was, yesterday's went down in a not unexpected 75%...

Subaru XV Crosstrek: The Jalopnik Review
Subaru says the buyer of its all-new XV Crosstrek will be relatively young, maybe have a few small children, enjoy hiking, biking, racing triathlons and partake in a multitude of outdoor adventures. A buyer fitting this demographic will be looking for a practical car that presents a cool, hip appearance...

For $20,000, Would This R32 Give You Wood?
Custom paint on a car is nothing new, and custom under-hood colors are more common today than ever. It is strange however that the customizer of today's VW R32 decided to go with a mountain cabin motif for its engine bay. Does its price however, warrant getting your pines in...
