If you're looking for one still, I was at a GR meet at Openroad Toyota in Richmond on Sunday and they had 2 Core Editions... red and white... both available at MSRP.

Those 2 CORE are USED.
with low mileages.
Previous Owners broke in for You.

Ah I see, they mentioned they were new when at the event haha

underscore 05-28-2024 10:20 AM

I appreciate the heads up. Long story short I'm still on the fence about getting one. Looks like the white one has 2k and the red one has 4k. 9.99% financing because they're used lol.

They're surprisingly mid for $55K

68style 05-28-2024 12:14 PM

Yah after I saw 1 in person I dropped my deposit... it's just not worth the $ up here in my opinion... rather get a Golf R for that money if I had to have a 4 door hatch with 4WD

bcrdukes 05-28-2024 03:08 PM

Are they still being marked up with accessories such as $1000 wheel locks and $2500 PPF?

That circuit edition is 10k more than the base. Why the hell am
I paying almost 70k for a ratrolla 3 cylinder when I can get a supra at 70?!

JDMDreams 05-28-2024 05:38 PM

Why no type r?

Badhobz 05-28-2024 08:44 PM

Can’t get one…. Unlike the stupid ratrolla GR they really are completely sold out.

Only option is to buy a type S and justify the extra 10k for worse build quality, and arguably worse looks

underscore 05-29-2024 08:18 AM

After the test drive I pulled my deposit from Kelowna Toyota because they were being dicks and then started lying about the allocation process. I'm still on the list at another dealer that's been a lot better to deal with though.

The Circuit is purely a cosmetics package so you don't *need* that part but the big benefit over the Supra is 4 doors.

68style 05-29-2024 09:40 AM

and AWD... it would have been a much better choice honestly going to Calgary lol... but no ragrets :badpokerface:

Badhobz 05-29-2024 09:47 AM

i just think 60k for a 3 cylinder is ridiculous

EvoFire 05-29-2024 12:16 PM

IS300 for sale? Where? Manuel?

Badhobz 05-29-2024 12:16 PM

there's one probably around with a tree sized dent in it.

bcrdukes 05-29-2024 12:36 PM

Classy, Badhobz. :peek:

68style 05-29-2024 12:38 PM

Still can't believe that one sold for $100 under what I wanted to bid for it and my buddy forgot to put my bid in.

Makes 80 more HP than the 6.6 liter V8 my dad had in his Trans Am. To me the 3 cylinder is a flex.

Bruh 1978 =/= 2024 for nearly anything, especially not technology.

Lot of news this past week. LBX Morizo RR will be the first 6MT in a Lexus in well over a decade (won't be coming to NA), and MY25 GRC is getting an 8-speed auto

____________________________

EDIT 10/15: More news about the MY25 GRCs. Embargo for the automatic review drops October 23rd

https://media.toyota.ca/en/releases/...ds-new-di.html

Relevant bullet points:

- Toyota GAZOO Racing Available 8-Speed Direct Automatic Transmission Added Along with the 6-Speed Manual Transmission
- 2025 GR Corolla Increases Engine Torque to 295 lb.-ft. (MY23 Morizo tune)
- Launch Control Adopted for Powerful Acceleration
- Suspension Enhancements Add Stability When Cornering
- Redesigned Front Bumper for Added Cooling Components and Aerodynamics

Canadian MSRP for the MT is $47,915/$55,917 for MT + premium package. AT is $58,137

Only 1 trim for MY25, with an optional premium package for the MT($8,000), Premium package comes standard on the AT.

The premium package is basically the circuit goodies added back.

Premium package adds:

18" Matte Black Alloy Wheels (BBS forged wheels are no longer available)
8" Toyota Multimedia w/ Service/Safety Connect (up to 10yr trial), Remote/Drive Connect (3yr trial)
Wireless Charger
Head-Up Display
8-speaker JBL Audio System
GR Sport Fabric With Suede Trim
Front and Rear Parking Sensors
Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control
Carbon Fiber Roof
Black Painted Grille
Bulged Hood :ifyouknow:
Sub-radiator

Overall, seems like the full kit for a car dad who wants an auto hot hatch daily, but $60k+ for a Corolla is steep, even if it is hand built by Toyota's skilled Takumi in the Motomachi plant. A better business case would be a Morizo RR version of the Lexus UX for 7-8 grand more.

As of now, the MY24 circuit in blue blame is a 1 year only colour, and the last year to come with BBS forged wheels.

Klondike 10-23-2024 09:17 PM


They've changed the torque split settings. You can no longer hard select 30:70 like you could in MY23/24 GRCs

JDMDreams 10-23-2024 10:31 PM

So no one's gonna buy cvt wrx anymore? I wonder how the auto feels, 8 speed vs 6 mt

radeonboy 10-23-2024 10:46 PM

CVT WRX has a significantly lower price advantage over the auto GRC, so I don't think there's much of a threat there.
