So found out that Toyota will be suspending operations of numerous production plants in July due to shortages and supply chain issues. More importantly, the Motomachi plant will be suspended for the first 2 weeks in July. I don't know if this will have any impact on the anticipated release date of the GRC or not, as it is not currently in production as of yet. Just thought I would share.

I'm fine with delays whatever, just wish they would release pricing and plans for allocations.

Allocations release about a month or so from launch. So if launch month is October, then around the first drives dealers will get allocations.

Toyota normally shuts down for 1 week in July in the US plants. This could be just an additional week from the planned shutdown.

Yup. Usually for model switchover

I really hope they don’t only release pricing for the core and wait to release the CE and Morizo prices until next year when the motomachi plant builds them

I’m appalled. This is incredibly disturbing and I can’t believe that my Toyota will be potentially delayed by 2 weeks. Who do they think they are?!

It’s not that per se, there were other closings that delayed the GR Yaris deliveries and also slowed testing for final production GRCs. (Hence the pre production cars)

all it means is it won’t be delayed but launch will be very similar to the GR86 where barely any cars arrive, and when they do it will only be to certain areas. Lol

So a slower rollout.

To be fair. The delivery of this car already couldn't match the hype. This just adds salt to the wound.

Would it be a possibility that they could simply be just diverting some resources temporarily over to the GR Corolla?

They already have a set amount to meet goals. They wouldn’t do more for one car.

And then after 6 months you will see them pretty often.
