Yep, that's what I was reading also. Interesting system! Adds weight but allows you to have good acceleration and low rpm highway cruising as well.

Low RPM cruising would be awesome... Would help greatly with MPG as well, since this is still a daily for most folks.

Lots of great points here on the GR Corolla from Craig Lieberman (Technical Advisor for the first two Fast and Furious films)

Only thing that was off to me was price 😂

Here's a pretty good channel I follow. They had a few tidbits I didn't know. Enjoy:

I will definitely miss the exhaust note on my Veloster N.
It makes the car so much more engaging, and enjoyable to drive.
The Veloster N, Elantra N, i30N have probably the sweetest exhaust notes of any 4-cylinder cars out there.
For the life of me I can't figure out why Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan etc can't come up with a good sounding active exhaust for their 4 cylinder powered cars.
The exhaust note on the Civic Type-R sounds like a vacuum cleaner, not a sports car.
If Hyundai can do it, come on Toyota, give me a great sounding GR Corolla.
From what I've heard from the press release, I won't hold my breath.
Otherwise it will mean more expense for an aftermarket exhaust.
Sadly, the GR Yaris stock exhaust note sounds really lame, like a vacuum cleaner similar to the Civic Type-R, thank goodness there's a large selection of aftermarket exhaust available.

Not sure if this has been shared here before, Ryan Tuerck and Ken Gushi doing donuts during their rehearsal for the GR Corolla launch event:

I'm hoping that the triple exhaust setup doesn't fuck too much with the ability to find decent aftermarket options.

Companies are going to be creative

I'd be surprised if we don't see dual exit exhausts that come with a color matched insert for the 3rd exhaust port.

Just came across this teaser video on Instagram with the full video coming out tomorrow of the car drifting in the dirt.

Really shocked to hear how it is sounding I was not expecting something so different to the stock GR Yaris with those pops & bangs on shifts especially

What is everyone’s thoughts ? Vid below

2023 Toyota GR Corolla: Driving on the Track and Dirt...

First, Toyota announced it would launch a high-performance hatchback. Then, it really delivered! While no journalists have driven the car yet, we were able to get our hands on the highly anticipated 2023 Toyota GR Corolla and we thought of no better way to put it through its paces, than handing...

Straight from Doug's mouth, pricing later this summer. Which is what we all expected but good to hear someone that talked to a Toyota rep say it.

I believe our good friend @Guff said that in one of the other threads as well

Oops. It's amazing how much time I spend here and I still always seem to miss things.
