I'll be honest, I thought they would go with a bright color, but this silver/grey looks awesome!

"Get Ready for the heat!" I love how quick the premiere is coming rather than it being announced months in advance.

oh wow I just watched the teaser on Instagram and came to the forum to bring the update but looks like I am not the only one hyped about the GR Corolla. The pictures from Guff are even better than the Instagram teaser. I am so ready to get into debt for this car!!!

Yellow would be off the charts sick on this car. Probably the color I would opt for.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those wheels in the teaser vid seem to be the BBS wheels that were standard on the GRY Circuit Pack, but not the "base" GRY. I hope this means that the torsen diffs that came standard on the circuit pack are included as well!

EDIT: Nevermind... In the fender pic, you can guesstimate how many spokes are on the wheel and they appear to be more than 10 spokes (which are on the BBS Circuit pack trim). Bummer... Really thinking the diffs wont be offered on the car, at least not on the base model. And I highly doubt the first year model will have multiple trims.. Ugh...
Still excited and grabbing one though, maybe ill hold onto it for a tear and trade it in on a 2024 model year if the diffs are available on a "circuit pack" trim.
