This car looks pretty sweet and the modifications done making me want one, can I get one on the UK? Maybe a import via Torque GT? They always have nice JDM cars.
It would make a great shopping run car lol.
Only if they change the steering wheel position. The wheel-seat-pedal relationship isn't designed for an actual human and the Corolla has been one of the most uncomfortable cars for me since 2013 at least. If my legs are comfy then I literally have to lean forward to hold the wheel properly! It needs another 6 inches of telescope at least. This would be my concern with the Yaris as well. Honda, Mazda, and Hyundai don't have this problem.GR Corolla
If the rest of @Tom's build videos are anything to go by, it'll be Luke who is doing all the work.
Just modified like any other tuner. (HKS, etc)Wait, so Toyota's motorsport devision GR (Gazoo Racing) made the GR Yaris, but TOM's (Toyota Motorsports) have made their own version of the GR Yaris.... what?
Tom's isn't "Toyota Motorsports", it's "Tachi Oiwa Motor Sport" after the founders Nobuhide Tachi and Kiyoshi Oiwa. It is an officially recognised Toyota tuner and enjoys factory support for its Toyota (and Lexus) racing programs, but it's an independent business.Wait, so Toyota's motorsport devision GR (Gazoo Racing) made the GR Yaris, but TOM's (Toyota Motorsports) have made their own version of the GR Yaris.... what?
Which colour?On a serious note, I have a GR Yaris on order at the moment. I'm very much keeping an eye on this.

No, AMG is Mercedes-owned. It's more like... HWA in that context (if HWA also once made its own road car).So its the equivilent to AMG?
