So TAS 2022 is upon us. What are we interested that isn't from Toyota? I know Subaru is bringing a mess of stuff and Mitsubishi is bringing some Ralliart Outlander.

Mazda seems to have shifted their focus from "awesome" to "that's neat."

There's a Super GT 400Z there.

Here's Toyota's press release for the GR GT3 Concept and GRMN Yaris.


Chiba, Japan, January 14, 2022―TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) and Lexus are exhibiting the following vehicles and parts at Tokyo Auto Salon 2022*1 at Makuhari Messe (Chiba City) from today to January 16.

TGR is committed to further accelerating customer motorsports activities to make the world of motorsports sustainable. Promoting "driver first" car development and with a desire to provide attractive cars that customers participating in GT3, which is the pinnacle of customer motorsports, would choose, TGR has unveiled the GR GT3 Concept.

As was the case with the GR Yaris, by commercializing motorsports cars rather than simply adapting production vehicles for use in motorsports, TGR intends to use feedback and technologies refined through participation in various motorsports activities to develop both GT3 and mass-production cars and further promote making ever-better motorsports-bred cars.

GRMN Yaris

The development of the GRMN Yaris*2 began with the desire of Morizo, president Toyoda to "deliver cars to customers that evolve quickly and can be tailored to individuals like in the field of motorsports". In addition to having refined the vehicle together with professional drivers as a fully tuned model of the GR Yaris, a new program is to be activated that will deliver to customers the type of daily vehicle evolution and driver-tailored customization that takes place in motorsports.

This is more interesting to me then the GT3 right now. Especially since Yamaha has a hand in it
I really wish we got the Levorg in the states.

They had such a good design with the Levorg and then they gave us the 2022 WRX 😭

I don't dislike the the new WRX. Well, I don't dislike it any more or less than the previous generation. Ill probably cross shop it against the Corolla. If they did sell the Levorg in the states, I wouldn't even be on this forum. :p

I really thought they were going to unveil the STi.

I have a feeling it might end up being great

It's going to have the same plastic cladding, which I'm indifferent about. The only thing I don't really like is the rear bumper diffuser thing.

I’m talking performance wise. I don’t expect it to be 400 hp but I expect it to be a better cohesive experience.
