not really 3s flat, seems like 0-100kmh is pretty steady 4s. But yes, it is faster than GR Yaris.
However, that sheer 0-100kmh is not the point, whoever is just interested in mashing their pedal few times per day, should really get an EV. Like me.
Whoever wants to have great driving experience and enjoy every second of it, GR Yaris/Corolla will work really well.

An M340i can hit 60 in 3.8 seconds. To be honest I'm not sure if an M3 is worth it for the extra .5 seconds to 60, especially with the beaver teeth.
Either way the GR Corolla has only one real rival, and that's the Golf R. The WRX STI would be on this list but we all know what happened lol.

You'd be surprised. Faster than the Performance 3 but its $100k car when its loaded. This GR Yaris is priced like an M240 but may get into M2 prices due to scarcity. At these prices, its more like Supra or M2 but those aren't really a hot-hatch.

I think you are confusing 0-60 with 1/4 mile. M3P tapers off after 150kmh, as it should with single gear.
Back to this story, M3 Competition will be faster than GR Yaris, by about 1s to 60 or 1/4, but again point of GR Corolla is not times on drag strip.

also......... no way in hell would I pay even $40K for that car.
I'd take a used C7 over that thing any day....

Did you see the video I posted...the new M3 X-drive is as fast or faster than the Model 3 Performance which is about 3.1s to 60. It actually started pulling on the Model 3 Performance before 60 in that vid. The draggy times on the BMW forums are in that 3.1s to 60 times too. Its pushing way over 500hp on dynos so not surprised at the insane performance. The GR cars would be a good competition for the M2, but that M3 is about 2s faster to 60 which would be a massacre.

100% on bringing back the glory days of Toyota's "hot" cars. I think it's pretty interesting if it lives up to expectations.

The GR corolla will be slightly heavy in regard of the purpose built Yaris. This will give him a little bit more consistency but less ability to improvise when driven on edge. I think it's better suited for the american market, where the peoples tend to drive in straight line.
But stupid question of mine, did you not have a law that is incoming with a mandotry 49 mpg for new cars, or was it an april foolsday news ?

The upcoming 2023 Civic Type-R looking like it will retain its title as the hot hatch track king, but the GR Corolla should be more fun on the street. Really looking forward to both options. Throw in the Veloster N and Golf R in the comparison too.

Interesting take, but I guess we can agree to disagree.
Hopefully you aren't comparing the GR Corolla to a Model 3/M3/used C7/modded A8 as some people in this thread were.
Just shows how small the hot hatch market is these days.
