How about a new GR-Four?

Motor Trend's article on the coming GR Corolla!

I mean, the looks are fitting of current gen hot hatches, sure. But, why is this thing so heavy? 3,249lbs? A mildly tuned GT-Four would weight less and make more power, with tons more power potential. I just don't see any tuning room in the 3 cylinders of fury of the Corolla - let's hope I'm wrong.

But, I have to give them credit for the stick shift. Solid move, Toyota.

Would I want one? Not sure. Good question.

I'd still rather have the ST205, honestly. BPU and you have a reliable & quick+ car - at least in the ST204 with a 3rd generation 3SGTE.

But this is wildly cool. I did talk to my sales guy about the Circuit version but pulled out because I didn't want to deal with first year bugs (if any).
