Toyota's GR Corolla Is Coming This Thursday
Toyota's GR Corolla Is Coming This Thursday-September 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.

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...
