Better late than never.
And I have no doubt it will be far better than any VAG car that can be compared to it price wise/power wise.
Still the Yaris GR is where it's at. I still don't know which I'd pick between a Yaris GR and a Supra!

The Toyota Corolla is a series of compact cars (formerly subcompact) manufactured and marketed globally by Toyota Motor Corporation. Introduced in 1966, the Corolla was the best-selling car worldwide by 1974 and has been one of the best-selling cars in the world since then. In 1997, the Corolla became the best-selling nameplate in the world, surpassing the Volkswagen Beetle. Toyota reached the milestone of 50 million Corollas sold over twelve generations in 2021.

This is a really badass Corolla. I like it. Toyota is focusing heavily on improving their image as drivers cars and they certainly on the up lately with some brilliant cars such as the Yaris GR, Supra GR, 86 GR and now this car.

If I read correctly, it won't come to Europe...
Correct, but we have the GR Yaris. Honestly I dont think the Corolla will be as good as the Yaris.

I suspect that too. The Yaris looks so chuckable. That said, a GR Corolla ought to be fun drive too, but it's a little tougher to live out one rally car driver fantasies.

There's a new hot hatch in town and this one comes from an unlikely suspect

I'd certainly go for the Yaris. It should be a rocket with that size!

This car's timing is perfect to fill a huge vacuum in the NA market.
Ford no longer sells the fiesta/focus hatchbacks
Subaru discontinued the STI hatch
MK8 Golf is one of the most disappointing in decades
Civic Type R is end of life and new one seems like it will look softer.
3 cylinder, 300 Hp AWD Corolla is perfect for the times.

Jambo Giannis! Very much around... unfortunately got sucked into the dark underworld of two wheels. ?

Looking forward to watching this video tomorrow even though that hotness of a Corolla won’t be sold in the UK.

Toyota GR Corolla Puts Up Impressive Numbers on a Dyno!
www.roadandtrack.com
"Assuming a drivetrain loss of 25 percent, the GR Corolla's 1.6-liter three-cylinder puts out 344.88 hp in this test.
The three-cylinder in the Toyota GR Corolla is a little ripper. Toyota claims an amazing 300 hp from this turbocharged 1.6-liter, but based on a dyno test from a new GR Corolla owner, that figure might be underrated. In a post in a GR Corolla owner's Facebook group, the car's owner got figures of 258.66 hp at 6320 rpm, and 279.38 lb-ft of torque from a DynoJet dynamometer.
This content is imported from Facebook. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.
You may already know this, but it bears repeating. Chassis dynos like this, where the car is driven onto rollers and tested, measure wheel horsepower, a figure that reflects all the parasitic losses from driveline components, everything between the flywheel and the wheels. Figuring out precise drivetrain losses with the GR Corolla would be extremely difficult, but very generally speaking, the horsepower measured at the wheels in an all-wheel-drive car can be up to 25 percent of horsepower measured at the crank. (This is more than is the case with two-wheel drive cars, as all-wheel drive cars have more driveline components.)
Assuming a possible loss of 25 percent, the GR Corolla puts out 344.88 hp; if we decide to be more pessimistic and say driveline losses are 20 percent, that figure jumps to 323.33. I'm inclined to cite the 25 percent figure here, as the GR Corolla has a fairly complicated all-wheel drive system. Hell, assuming that the engine does indeed put out "just" 300 hp at the flywheel and you get a dyno figure of 258.66, that's a drivetrain loss of just 13.78 percent. So either the components between the engine and the wheels in the GR Corolla transfer power very efficiently, or the engine output is underrated. The reality is probably some combination of the two.
Now, the usual caveats of measuring horsepower, which is affected by a number of factors, including temperature, altitude, and engine condition. The owner commented that the car had around 880 miles and was past the break-in point, but if you could take this exact car in this exact state and measure it on identical dynos in New York and Los Angeles right now, you'd likely get different figures.
Basically, none of these numbers should be taken as gospel. Also, having driven the GR Corolla, I can tell you with certainty that this three-cylinder is a little ripper, and the fact that it makes at least 100 horsepower per cylinder—and more likely somewhere between 107 hp and 115 hp/cylinder—is extraordinary."
