The Toyota GR Yaris is what the Honda CR-Z always supposed to be

I just hope the Corolla will get a AWD, 3 door variant, with a Turbo and manual. So nobody will buy it.

Also, this video.

You don’t see many company executives honing around in a prototype just to tease a car.

Back in the day Honda spent millions to bring us this slow turd.

In a time when hybrids still meant only Prius, not thousand HP race cars that race around Le Mans or million dollar exotics.

If they actually sold a Corolla in rally trim it would be epic.

And then when they actually made a kit for it that made it decently quick, they made so many hoops that you have to jump through to actually get one that nobody bothered.

The CR-Z could have been so good. A crazy revving K motor and a more powerful IMA and battery would have elevated it. Use torque fill from idle to vtec kickover and let the engine take it from there. The trouble, as we all know now, is that they tried to make a fun prius, when they should have made a cheap performance hybrid. 200 hp and 200 lbs ft in that little body would have been epic, and it wouldn’t have made it any less efficient.

I don’t care for the 5-door new Yaris, but that looks really good.
