Hey guys, I’m currently in the Texas area (as of early august 2022) and was wondering if there is any dealer that has a GR Corolla in display?

I knew there were around 2 or 3 pre-production models roaming around but don’t know where they’re at right now. Hopefully someone knows

Not on display at dealerships as far as I know, especially since I don't think there's a single production model out there yet. The pre production models have been making some appearances in car shoes (where I personally saw it). That's the best I can offer.

Rumor has it some production models are under wraps at HQ in Plano, but no, no dealers have any on display in Texas.

Is the general public able to go to Toyota HQ and see the car?

The Toyota HQ is open to the public, in specific areas, like a visitor location. I have seen a video of a person showing the GR in a lobby of sorts. However, what we don't know is if that was an employee section or some privileged pass to that area.

Best bet to see any GR currently in Texas, is to be in and around the HQ.

The dealer GM I work with said he went and saw one of them, and it was behind closed doors. They may have one of the preproduction mules out somewhere up there though. They have shown off the red core around town here a couple times.

It'd be nice if a local could confirm whether the cars are on display for the public.

I can try and go next week, unless someone else local can beat me to it.

I expect a full 3D scan and pricing. 😂

And I expect to be banned from HQ for incessant questioning of the staff 🤣

I just got off the phone with the Plano HQ “Brand Engagement Center” and the lady said that there were no pre-production models available in Texas.

I dont believe it lol. But can’t afford the 6 hour drive for a “what if?”

In other words, she said, "I'm sick of yall calling up here, we don't make Corolla's anymore!"

That's not very brand engaging of her. 😂
