End of production, and with an EU version looking unlikely for the GRC, I guess the value of our GRYs just went up again!

These details are for a 'First Edition' launch model. I expect the auto and trims without the LSDs and maybe without the carbon roof will also come later and be cheaper, but the first offering is the halo version.

You see, the previous website was done by the previous marketing director, and for the new marketing director such shame is intolerable so it must be changed for no good reason, just so they have impacted the brand.

Toyota do have a huge amount of credit because of the hybrids. If a modern 3cyl turbo with GPF cannot meet any upcoming emissions rules, then I don't think anyone will with any design. Euro7 isn't due until 2025, and clearly the engine meets Euro6.

Parked up on the high street towards the main road. Looked like you had been rallying it!

Apparently they are tuning it to shift hard and fast, not to hunt for top gear for fuel economy. They want it to be a true alternative to the manual box. Given we don't have a drive mode switch that controls engine behaviour, it sounds like it might be rev happy in every gear unless you are...

Cheers @Mintmansam, that is basically me except the Shropshire part. Except the Aviva website just quoted me £723.... I'm starting to think there is a strike against my name for some reason. Anyone know if I can find that out?

Sounds like Toyota needed a Bad Obsession stick out gauge!

Oh dear, I would have to leave my wallet at home for safety!

Looking at pictures for the 12A80 version, it appears to be shared with the Corolla and doesn't have the collar switch for rain intensity. The limited pictures of 33580 show it shared with the Crown and having that collar.

The weird thing is I haven't moved house, and my local police region is reporting only a single crime in the last 12 months, and it wasn't even car related. Plus another year with no claims, and I am just shocked it has gone up nearly 50%. A few quid would be expected, similar to what others...

Mine was £350 last year when it was new, now the renewal quotes are looking like £500 from everyone. Literally nothing has changed in my circumstances, except reaching the magic age of 30 which I was promised was when insurance got cheaper!!

Who is going to buy them? All owners got a set with the car! They aren't old enough for enough sets to have got lost over the years that someone is buying and trying to restore a GR to original, and anyone with damage is likely getting new OEM ones on insurance anyway, not buying 2nd hand.

Maybe they traded one of their other cars for it (even if they never tell us). I could see a collector and a fan trading a GR for cash and a MCM famous car.

Do you mean an electronic system, like an OBD immobiliser, or an "off" switch for the socket? Because you can get metal boxes that lock over the port. Common on fleet vehicles. https://www.maplefleetservices.co.uk/product/obd-protector/ I think they need a bracket mounting around the port that...

I have a problem with the concept of the Ghost immobiliser - it is invisible so not a deterrent. You can't really steal a modern car without some access to the key, so thieves are not targeting cars parked in public places because who knows where the key currently is. Yeah, some have OBD...
