Here's the original photo that Toyota used to make this teaser photo. Note that they also removed the speaker in the A pillar for some reason.
I'll never say no to more power haha. Hopefully it's just a reference to the engine but I still think it's likely this is going to be the GR Corolla's horsepower.So the original post shows 268 in the climate control. This tells me that the 268 probably isn't relevant for GR Corolla. Hopefully it comes out with the rumored 296hp!
It's always fun when you walk into a dealership about a car and know more than the person you're dealing withI actually have been told by my dealer contact that they have been getting information on the GR Corolla from Toyota so I know it's coming. I'm even the first on the waiting list! When I got the initial call from them that they heard about it they were amazed at how much I knew about it long before them. They are excited about how amazing this car will be.
That happens all of the time! I never meet anyone that knows the cars like I do. 😂It's always fun when you walk into a dealership about a car and know more than the person you're dealing with.
Welcome to the forum!I can not wait for this. I'm a huge rally fan and I was so disappointed when we weren't getting the GR Yaris. I love my FJ TT but I want something I can whip around in the snow and dirt at fast speeds while still being relaible unlike an STI or Focus RS. Plus old cars like the Celica GT-4 and older STI's are either hard to find and/or too pricey for a 20 year old car. To have something like this AND my FJ? That'd be a killer combo. Been keeping up with this car for 2 years and was so happy to hear from Toyota employees about a 300hp 3 banger AWD Corolla hatch coming our way
Thank you!! And for sure! I'm so hyped to get one and I'm hoping I'll be the first in my area so I can really stand out with a fully rally build of itWelcome to the forum!
Are you planning to reserve one as soon as order books open?
Check with your dealer as mine already has a waiting list that I had them start earlier this year. There are many of us on it now.Thank you!! And for sure! I'm so hyped to get one and I'm hoping I'll be the first in my area so I can really stand out with a fully rally build of it
Maybe the speaker being removed is that the GR Corolla won’t have engine noises playing through the speaker like the GR Yaris?Here's the original photo that Toyota used to make this teaser photo. Note that they also removed the speaker in the A pillar for some reason.

I think that speaker in the A pillar is part of the JBL system. Maybe the GR Corolla won't have that upgrade as an option. Only time will tell. If it does have the fake engine noise through the stereo it would be nice if that could easily be turned on/off through the stereo system.Maybe the speaker being removed is that the GR Corolla won’t have engine noises playing through the speaker like the GR Yaris?
Welcome to the forum @AMRx17. That seems likely to help keep the cabin quiet when driving at lower speeds.Maybe the speaker being removed is that the GR Corolla won’t have engine noises playing through the speaker like the GR Yaris?
Yeah I agree hopefully they don’t take the JBL system away because I’m really looking forward to that hahaI think that speaker in the A pillar is part of the JBL system.

Thanks for welcoming me!! But yeah I feel like that could be a possibility because a lot of people say they don’t like the noises through the speakers, at least the reviews on the Yaris that I’ve watchedWelcome to the forum @AMRx17.
