This article states the cold weather package will indeed be heated cloth seats and not the suede ones plucked from the CE/ME.

Cool, just saved me $500, because I don't need any of that in Texas

People are commenting and hating on the gram and YT posts about it "just being a $50k corolla" I'm still sort of bummed it starts so high. I get its a SUPER special car and all. But not like Toyota would trouble selling them. Not one single bit.

The Core is a pretty good value and the options are rather inexpensive.

But if the Circuit Edition is going to be $4,600 more than a Fully-loaded Core AND arrive 5-6 months later then I’m really tempted to just go with a Circuit Edition for $4600 more.

For me, it’s the seats and the hood, and exclusivity. The CF roof and larger spoiler are nice but not deal-breakers.

My dilemma is that the car will see 12k+ miles a year so that’s why a Core would make sense…wouldn’t feel as bad racking up miles lol.

The price for the Performance Package is a nice surprise vs. what I was expecting.

 

[Jeonsa]

I mean after taxes and the performance package, the car sits at that 40k mark. It’s right in line with their competitors

All you guys guessing the car would start at 32k need to give up your allocation spots. 😂

Na. I'm 30 so by the time I get my allocation in the color I want, the auto will be out and will have enough 💰 for it. Or I'll give it to my brother and get the mythical 25k Tesla hatchback.

I’m just joking man.

If you plan on keeping the car that doesn’t really matter though.

I know 🤣.
But yea I'm excited. Finally a hot hatchback with Toyota reliability. Reminds me of the 90's supra.

Jalopnik definitely got pretty cringey but it seems like you may have encountered her satirical alter-ego "fancy Kristen" and taken it seriously.

I wish that was the case, but after finding the article again, it's definitely not written satirically and she even doubles down in the comments. It's just one of those intentionally controversial click bait pieces that Jalopnik is known for, it even contradicts their own past articles. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to who she worked for at the time.

Fortunately, the GR Corolla has plenty of coverage from all of the most respectable auto journalists, as one of the last great ICE hot hatches should. And to bring it back on topic, I think pricing is pretty reasonable considering current economic conditions, for the Core and Circuit at least. The Morizo is already going to be so rare that pricing almost doesn't even matter.

Any clarifications on exact content?
Subwoofer - not available on a regular Corolla hatch, even with the JBL. Specifically mentioned in the Toyota U.S.A. press release, but not mentioned in the Toyota Canada release.

One touch power windows. The Toyota U.S.A. press release mentions then for the Circuit Edition, but then doesn’t mention as part of technology package.

I’m sorry man you’re apart of the Rolla club dating back to the 70s. It’s fun because you get to enjoy your car while people try to tell you it’s just an econobox.

Then in 20 years the same people will offer you double of what you paid for the car 😭🤣

That was the biggest hurdle with my wife... She was wondering why on earth I was willing to pay 35k+ for a Corolla that "you can get at any dealer" for less than 30k

Doubtful of the sub but not 100% sure, Toyota PR gets details wrong from time to time. Almost certain one-touch power windows will be standard, as they are even in the base SE Corolla hatchback.

Canadian pricing?

 

[Tokyotexan]

So we now have an official name for the plain white. "Ice Cap" white is the only color option for the CE with no added cost. Can mods update the "white" picture thread with "Ice Cap" please?
While black is just.....black... LMAO.

Canadian pricing?

That is US pricing
