They're all dumb except for John Davis.

I don't know why Doug is now postulated for being the guru of gurus when he gets so much shit wrong on the vehicles he reviews. He also has listicles which are straight naff.

^Yea you can tell for alot of cars, he based his speech off a 5min read off wikipedia...

Anyhow, just wanted to let you know that the OpenRoad Richmond GR Corolla has been plated and is now running in the wild since 11am this morning.

An older enthusiast for sure, very nice guy.

But he was baffled that it didn't come with a integrated garage opened. I joked it was for weight savings and he said even his McLaren has homelink, Tofu please confirm.

Yea, he was uber excited, knew more about the car then probably everyone standing there.

Dunno how it works, but both the first ever bZ4X and the GR was delivered at our Hyundai dealer =) Not complaining since I sit right next to the bay~

tofu1413 12-15-2022 01:25 PM

can confirm. McLaren does have homelink (optional on earlier models)

He did not buy the Morizo because he does not have a social media following. You have to apply to be able to get one. Only 6 are coming to Canada.

Edit: Looks like Manic! already answered.

Here's some more context:

Toyota Canada recently announced on Instagram that the country that brought you Nathan Fielder is getting just nine GR Corolla Morizo Edition models, all of which are going to people with clout. How will Toyota Canada know you have clout?

Toyota offers a Homelink mirror as an accessory for the GR Corolla. It's $229 on the website. Did nobody bother to ask the guy what accessories he wanted? lol

I can answer this because I buy for the government... Toyota Fleet deliveries, the people who deal with them work in the offices attached to OR Hyundai... so I recently got a RAV-4 Hybrid and it was delivered to OR Hyundai's parking lot instead of Toyota across the street. It's funny because the manager, on every single voicemail or communication I had with him, would be like "Remember, we're at OR Hyundai NOT at Toyota" he must get so tired of having to redirect people lol!

My guess would be that they are delivering the Morizo's quietly through fleet instead of the dealership.

jcmaz 12-15-2022 04:09 PM

Ahhh so fleet moved to Hyundai. I liked the folks at the fleet team.

Not sure how I feel about it. But at least they are selling for MSRP.

So the dealership gets to take your money and donate it on your 'behalf' but THEY get a tax break. On top of this finance or lease only, no cash buy. Non transferrable and you cannot sell the car. So fucking dumb.


Badhobz 12-30-2022 02:56 PM

OMFG!!!! YOU DID IT!!!!!!! im so glad it was someone on RS. Congrats brother!

ENJOY IT (plz wrap it blue).

bcrdukes 12-30-2022 03:20 PM

Holy shit. Talk about a year-end miracle! Enjoy the car!

320icar 12-30-2022 05:05 PM

Let me know when you’re putting winters on it and we can go bromance in the mountains together

Badhobz 12-30-2022 05:26 PM

Plz tell us how you like it. I’m sure there’s a honeymoon factor but try and be as unbiased as possible. It seems like such a fantastic car.

bcrdukes 12-30-2022 05:45 PM

Looking forward to a 2023 Stock & Noob Meet!

EvoFire 12-30-2022 07:06 PM

Holy shit it's gonna get all of RS to come out.

radeonboy 12-30-2022 07:59 PM

Wow that's awesome, congrats! Enjoy in good health :)

Ask for a $20 'donation' and you can make your $200 back easily!

Gumby 12-30-2022 09:02 PM

Wow congrats on the belated Christmas gift! Good to see that it went to an enthusiast and not a flipper (I hope).

underscore 12-31-2022 07:07 AM

Even my FK8 (Civic Type R) doesn't have homelink, crazy that my 02 330/M3 had it tho. I'm personally not a fan of the weight-saving measures that most Japanese mfgs implement. The weight difference for homelink is insignificant, it just seems cheap and lazy.
