Only a handful have been delivered with cars arriving shortly before the holidays in 2022. With a few lines out I should have a GRC in 2023. I will concede there are better 4-door people movers with 6MT in the same budget range. GRC has some character and speaks to me. If we all made rational car buying decisions this forum would not exist. DB_Cooper Let me know when yours lands! |

Kind words from the folks at Road & Track, especially in terms of its road going prowess. Cheapest car on the list (Elantra N) priced at $34K, times are definitely changing...

Agreed, a big nose is a lot easier to accept than a huge, loaded diaper, square ass. I was excited for a mid engine Corvette, but reality hasn’t come through for it yet. Maybe the C9 won’t be a glorified golf cart.

I was very interested in them when the news dropped. But I knew it would be impossible to get one without paying a huge markup and waiting a long time, which I wasn't willing to do. |

At the risk of shifting luck... GRC allocation en route to USA now, should be in my garage sometime in March.

I’m number 36 on my dealer’s wait list with a signed agreement for MSRP and no add ons.

I sincerely hope you are kidding or on the list at another dealer or two? Given the volume of cars and Toyota's dealer allocation process you may never see a car during the production lifetime. Most dealers will be lucky to get a couple of GRCs annually, if any.

To those of you who have purchased a GR Corolla (or intend to), what is the draw over the FL5 Type R or the Golf R? It's a good crop of hot hatches to select from but would be curious to hear perspectives from my BP brethren.

No. I’m not kidding. I’ve purchased several cars from this dealer and they have a very large volume. I was 36 about a year ago when I signed up long before any were allocated. The Morizo is going to be low volume but the Core and Ciruit will be much better. Honestly, I have so many cars I really don’t care if I get one. This dealer never charges over MSRP for anything and I’ll happily wait to give them business if possible.

We owned a MK7 GTI and I was not super impressed with the mechanical build quality. The MK8 is strangely worse than the generation before it aesthetically (exterior) and user friendliness of their infotainment. In fact I am explicitly seeking a non-German daily for lower running costs. It should be a Lexus if I were smart but I want a rowdy, AWD, 6MT car with four doors. The WRX is so ugly I don’t know where to start. If for some reason the GRC fails to meet my needs I’ll part ways and look for a MK7 GolfR. |

Pulling for ya and that’s the adult way to do business. With interest rates sky high a lot of folks have given up allocations or been unable to secure financing. That’s how I jumped up lists so quickly. West coast, TX, and the east coast will see a lot more cars. Toyotas “Chicagoland” region including the surrounding states is rumored to only receive 80 2023 GRC Core models.

Took delivery yesterday. This car feels poised to GO, so eager and quick! Certainly not a BMW interior but I am looking forward to drier roads this spring (not getting a winter wheel/tire setup until next fall).

Congrats! The GR Corolla is a good looking car and looks like plenty of fun. I've only seen one on the road here in Atlanta. Would be interested to learn more about the buying experience. Specifically, did you pay an ADM? If so, how much? When did you start looking for an allocation? Any other pertinent information would also be helpful.

My only requirement was that the car be equipped with the performance package (LSD). I reached out to eight dealers and only three were allocated a car so far with waitlists ranging from 6 to 48 people. |
