:seriously::facepalm:

How much was retail?

$45,490 for the core

On Langley Toyota's website you can spec out a new Corolla GR. This is an interior pic. Anyone notice something interesting?

mysterious Armrest

Also this is the Circuit Edition seat
They probably just copy & paste from Google Search

Another one up for auction.

fingers crossed that guy loses money.

We can all hope but apparently has a secret reserve that hasn't been met yet. current bid is already over MSRP

They have taxes and auction fees to contend with, they need to be well over MSRP to make a profit.

A sad and disappointing thing is -- this selling above MSRP stuff isn't just limited to real cars. I see it happening with Hot Wheels too.

Damn I am not going to pay more than $2 for a damn Hot Wheels...

I was quite high on this car, but after watching/reading some technical reviews, I'm not sure anymore. It's a FWD car first and foremost and the rear axle occasionally comes on, with that in mind I feel like the Type R would be a better car. I was expecting more of a full time AWD system like the Focus RS.

Toyota has literally never made a decent AWD system compared to its peers.

We really shouldn't be surprised.

Even the ones in the GT4 Celica they took to rallying?

The GT4 they stuffed a few hundred grand into to rally?

I guess?

But if you look at any of their consumer offerings, they have always lagged in performance. I don't think anyone can argue that their AWD in the Tacoma, Rav etc are poor compared to the Americans and Germans.

I mean the FoRS has it's fair share of issues. And compared to the CTR nothing else sub-$80k really comes close to its driving feel.

The GR Yaris has been out for a few years and the drivetrain seems pretty solid. Yes it's more difficult to get the rear to step out in the GRC but I think that can be solved with rear sway bars, and a stiffer rear. But I understand though, Toyota's marketing didn't really do this thing any favors as they made it seem like this thing had a very lively rear end.

Are you saying I can let go of my unopened Hot Wheels collection for retail? I'm thinking of liquidating most of what I accumulated over the last 4-5 years but seems like a pain to sell them individually through FB Marketplace...

Going back on topic, I'm going to guess the Langley GR will sit around and sell closer to $55-60k pre-tax.

Depending on the desirability of the car, it is pretty easy to see them having an asking price of $4 - $10. Ebay has ridiculous prices of over $100 for certain ones too, but I don't imagine those would sell -- at least not easily.

Fecesbook sucks. I swear I sometimes rather take this shit I’m selling and throw it into the dump then deal with these scum.

Where did you read that? Everything I've seen said that's not how it works, it's full time AWD. Everyone thinks the Celica is FWD too for some weird reason.

I haven't tried any of the American or German offerings but what's wrong with Toyotas systems? I can't say I've noticed anything wrong with them but I've only driven the older ones.

Try listing on Sotheby's next time. :D

Auto? That doesn't sound right...

Edit: Apparently when they scan in their inventory it also displays it online, even if it's already sold.

some reviewers say it feels fwd near the limit

Did an online chat with them. It's already been sold.

2023 Honda Civic Type R vs. 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Circuit vs. 2022 VW Golf R

3rd GRC

HIGHS: Mechanical tingles, unfiltered engine note, direct shift action.
LOWS: Stiffest ride, smallest back seat and cargo space, least nice interior.
VERDICT: It doesn't happen often, but occasionally a great car finishes last.

2nd Golf R

HIGHS: Quietest, smoothest ride, most features.
LOWS: Least engaging to drive, too-large shift knob and vague shifter feel, maddening interior controls.
VERDICT: Mature, with a wild side.

1st CTR

HIGHS: Best steering, handling, shifting, and seats; livable ride quality.
LOWS: Light on features versus the Golf, noisy over the road.
VERDICT: Unfathomably great, with no "for a front-driver" qualifier needed.
