Toyota's GR Corolla Is Coming This Thursday
Toyota's GR Corolla Is Coming This Thursday-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:24

We’ve seen after for the upcoming GR Corolla, but Toyota hasn’t given us much in the way of firm information. The company has hinted at the Yaris’s G16 engine, its 268 horsepower, and its GR-Four AWD system making their way to the Corolla platform, but those hints have come through bits and pieces of info hidden through social media posts. Now, we finally know when we’ll get real information: This week.

Toyota has confirmed a reveal date for “its newest GR sports car,” complete with dark video of GR badges, brakes, and fender flares. The company still hasn’t said the word “Corolla,” but come on now. We know it’s a Corolla. It’s okay, Toyota, you can say the word.

The full GR Corolla reveal will come Thursday, March 31, at 9:30 PM Eastern time. The video will be streamed on , in a video appropriately (if boring-ly) titled “Toyota Performance Product Reveal.” Ah yes, my favorite car: Performance Product.

The latest photos, the first we’ve seen without any camouflage, focus on two features: The widened, vented fender flares, and an embossed GR-FOUR badge. The fender, presumably the front-driver’s side, looks even wider than . My hopes for a truly wild Corolla are once again piqued.

The GR-Four badge, denoting Toyota’s performance AWD system, is a little harder to place. It could be a side skirt, with that raised panel on the left of the frame being the fender from the first image. A front splitter, though, isn’t out of the question either. Any guesses? Let us know in the comments.

With the full reveal on Thursday, we’re expecting confirmation about the elements of the Corolla that Toyota has already teased, as well as more detailed information about the exterior, interior, and drivetrain changes. If we’re lucky, maybe we’ll even get pricing and availability information too.

If you have one of those shirts that says “Injection is Nice, But I’d Rather Be Blown” then today’s Bimmer might just be right up your alley. That is, if its price doesn’t first blow it. Do you need a caddy if you don’t play golf? I’d say hell yes,...

Could This 1987 Audi 4000 Really Be Worth $25,000?
Can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Today’s Audi would beg to differ. It may look old school but its mechanicals are mostly all new rule. Let’s see if its price has you thinking it’s pretty trick! It’s a little known fact that BMW’s 318 Compact originated the roll of...

For $5,500, Is This 1999 Mustang GT Ready For Your Halloween Party?
At one time, Ford owned Britain’s Aston Martin. That makes today’s Mustang look perhaps a little too incestuous, but will its price have you wanting to add it to your family? Joseph Carey Merrick was certainly an unique individual. Better known as the “Elephant Man” for his severe, and to...

For $5,500, Does This 1988 Cadillac Cimarron Convertible Have Too Cavalier An Attitude?
Do you know how long it’s been since Cadillac built a convertible? The last one was the XLR more than half a decade ago. Today’s Cimarron is unexpectedly topless, but will that make it worth its asking price? We’re saying goodbye today to the week’s seemingly endless parade of German...

Chase just had to face the ultimate nightmare for any car owner. He went to find his car, only to discover it was gone. The silver lining is that he wasn’t a huge fan of his old crossover, anyway and wants to get something fun that can still handle the...

The 2017 Infiniti QX70S Is A Real 'Home Run' For Infiniti
I’ve driven just about all the cars they’ve ever made. I remember flying on the Concorde to drive the 1979 Opel Kadett around Paris, back when automakers knew how to treat real journalists. Some cars appeal to the smart version of myself, which I call “Smart” Cracker. Other cars appeal...
