Thereās no stepping on toes as they are not sold in the same markets. No Corolla in Europe, no Yaris in the US.Wow they only went and did it...Surely it will be a GR Yaris killer to some people who want a more practical car!?
I thought they would have done a FWD car with more power so not to step on the GRY's toes...
Both are sold in Aus...
There are a huge number of āenthusiastsā in the US who are fanatical about āstick shiftingā , mention an automatic on some forums (Iām thinking GR86) and the abuse that will be directed at you (not to mention assault rifles, which apparently canāt be displayed easily in the back window of a GR86
) will be significant. The āstick onlyā will get the GRC extra kudos in the US , as itās only for āproper driversā and drive sales until the 8AT comes along, so that everyone who ādoesnāt know how to drive properly ā can enjoy one too 
That depends on what youāre looking forWe all know which will be better
. The Golf R 4 door outsold the 2 door (when they made one) by about 10:1 despite being Ā£1k more expensive and heavier. The DSG significantly outsold the manual and was over Ā£1.5k extra . The GRY is a very special car , but how many owners actually use them as their one and only car Yes there are some, but Iād be surprised if 1 in 20 GRY owners use it as their only car (for some itās number 3/4/5) . The GRC would be a genuine contender as your one and only car capable of doing everything you want and still offering a great āweekend carā 
Got to agree with your comments regarding a daily and practical car. I would have a Corolla in a heat beat to replace possibly my RS.That depends on what youāre looking for
I think it would have genuine āmainstreamā appeal with a sub Ā£40k price for a Circuit Pack car with a decent sound system , throw in an 8AT option, 10 year warranty and Toyota wouldnāt be able to meet demand
There isnāt a genuine AWD alternative at that sort of money. Mercedesā shift plenty of AMG A35s at well over Ā£40k and no where near as entertaining as a GRC would be

I think lots of folk would buy it, one reason I got rid of my DSG Golf R was it was so bland , it did everything everything exceedingly well but was as exciting as watching grass grow (unless thatās your thing)
The GRC even with 260ish bhp , big brakes , decent suspension , and the ability to genuinely split power distribution (not Haldex on demand) would be a great option on U.K. B roads. Throw in a decent 8AT and whats not to like, one car does everything you want
if you could run the auto in manual 'gear lock' mode it would mostly do its job for easy cruising.I think lots of folk would buy it, one reason I got rid of my DSG Golf R was it was so bland , it did everything everything exceedingly well but was as exciting as watching grass grow (unless thatās your thing)
