Well looking at the GR Yaris configurator in Japan/Europe you pretty much get everything up from with a choice only in the circuit pack.What are people's thoughts on if the GRC will come loaded since it's going to be thousands more than the most expensive Corolla? Will they continue from say the XSE and add the engine drivetrain for that price? Or will it be base so they can get you to load it up as well?
Seems like a starting price of $37,000 Canadian in my case is already $7000 more than an XSE so hopefully they don't charge more to to keep all of the options in the XSE. If it were to cost extra, thus driving the price to $40,000, that would be tough. Charging $10,000 for an upgraded engine and AWD is steep.
Or maybe they offer a stripped down version for say $32,000 and compete with more of the others on price even though cars like the Elantra N and civic SI come pretty well equipped for their prices.
Someone else can convert to US differences.

SE to XSE upgrades are mostly basic; speakers, spoiler, headlights, blind spot monitoring etc.
My guess is it'll be an XSE with some added creature comforts. Most likely like the GRY gets with maybe the option for a sunroof. I'd say it'll be in the $35-37k USD to start with options being random accessory stuff and the "Rallye" packWhat are people's thoughts on if the GRC will come loaded since it's going to be thousands more than the most expensive Corolla?

I think that is very close. I looked up the Type R and STI yesterday and they were both at 47k Canadian which is 37 USDMy guess is it'll be an XSE with some added creature comforts.

Yes I can see that I just thought it would be a close target price to compare to like the CivicSTi has always been a weird one. It's not a hatch anymore but people still like grouping into the category of Hot Hatch
It’s apart of that hopped up commuter category, which is what a hot hatch isSTi has always been a weird one. It's not a hatch anymore but people still like grouping into the category of Hot Hatch
Well the reason why they don’t consider the Mazda 3 apart of the group is because everything it has is geared towards normal driving not spirited driving.I really don't pay to much attention to other brands. What else is part of this hot hatch category
STI
Type R
Veloster N
Kirk said the Mazda3 isn't on the same level
Do you not include the focus st, fiesta st, and gr yaris because they’re not US market (or no longer US market for the fords)Well the reason why they don’t consider the Mazda 3 apart of the group is because everything it has is geared towards normal driving not spirited driving.
Pretty much the group is (in somewhat order of price/performance)
Golf R
Type R
STI
Kona N to an extent
Elantra N
Veloster N
Mini Cooper
GTI
WRX
Si
The GRC is supposedly sitting with the top 3 per rumors
Actually I forgot about them, but thank you for reminding me! You can also add in the Puma STDo you not include the focus st, fiesta st, and gr yaris because they’re not US market (or no longer US market for the fords)
