That's disappointing.. I was really digging the pre-production CE spoiler

I think they went through the trouble of making the spoiler for a pre production car, why don’t they just use it.

Unless it has no real aero benefits

Even if it doesn't have any benefits, as long as it doesn't have a negative effect, why not use it?

Oh I understand from a visual standpoint but I’m thinking they probably want it to be functional. Hopefully they just change their mind and go all in. It’s suppose to be “limited” anyways.

I am almost thinking they did not make that spoiler for the GR version and just reused an existing option. When I looked at the current corolla hatch it looks like the one you can option on it for like 350 more, except the one on the circuit was just unpainted black gel coat.

I’ve gotten so used to it not having a rear wing that almost any wing is going to be a fail for me. Unless it’s like the GR Yaris rear wing, I’ll probably arrange to have it removed day one. The one the had at the reveal and the standard dealer installed spoiler are too boy racer for me. I’m very curious why they had no spoiler on the Japanese versions as well….maybe they’ve changed there mind and decided not to add a spoiler?

Huh... Looks like there are still no updates on the CE spoiler.

Uh this looks like a brand new GRC still wrapped as it arrives at the dealersip…..where the heck did you get this from? VERY cool!

At this point the spoiler should either be a dealer installed option, or it better be dead-sexy or it’s going to divide a lot of folks. It’s taking too long and the plain spoiler has soaked in already.

Should have just went with the prototype CE spoiler. That thing was sexy

I took it from a car friend's followed IG. Looks like it is parked at the dock in Vancouver

Is this the CE? Since this is only one, I suspect this is likely a press car or training car as we are still cricket with info and we are only in July.

Well, heavy metal is a CE only color, at least for the US market.

Given the wrapping on the hood and location, is it safe to say that this is one of the press cars?

I'd say it's highly likely

If that's the case, we have still yet to see what the CE wing looks like 😂

This angle looks like it has a tiny duck tail over the back window

Whoa, anyone notice the lcd start up seems more fleshed out, and The Moriso signed knob is gone? Maybe they messed up on the first CEs and the knob will only be on the Moriso? Nice to see another iteration of the CE with the proper dash though. Spoiler is still the standard ducktail on the xse. It’s grown on me to the point I like it now - did not like the boy racer spoiler from the reveal, I’d prefer something more sophisticated like the spoiler on the GRY or the Golf R.
