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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Spoiler!


https://media.toyota.ca/en/releases/...ission-op.html

Spoiler!


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
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.

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

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