What a cool CEO,a Racer also a Businessman. Not everyday you see that
No car excites me more than the GR Yaris right now. I'm so happy to see cars like this still being made by passionate people. 'Hypercars' are ridiculous things for oligarchs. This, and the Supra, are made for drivers. Well done Toyota.
What? Cringe af
I have signed on the dotted line over here in Australia with the pre ordered GR Yaris and I am stoked for this car. I am having a great time telling all my friends & family that I get to upgrade from a Golf to a Yaris as well, just seeing their looks of WTF why are you getting a Yaris before I explain just how awesome this car is going to be.
Thanks to all of you in Gazoo for building this car for us.
Have you got it? What do you think?
yeah... How's the car?
Smartest upgrade I seen anybody do the last 2 years. Dead serious
Really how is the car? I'm getting one I wana know.
@@savagegtalks5912 Hey mate so I have had my GR for 7 months now & done 14,000km on it during that time, I have literally just come back from a holiday where I did 2,000km during the trip.
So positives first, I really enjoy this car the power that it has when added to the grip levels is extremely satisfying when driving through windy roads as you can launch out of the corners. It also gets up to speed at highway driving when you need to overtake a caravan, so going from 90km to 170km doesn't take long at all.
With the grip being what it is as well as how responsive the car is I have never felt safer driving as it always does what I need to when I need it. The safety features such adaptive cruise control & lane assist are honestly really good for highway driving as they will keep you centred as well as automatically brake if the car in front stops suddenly. A lot of people hate these features but they are handy to have & will reduce mental strain on the longer drives.
The seat position while high is good for me as I am fairly short and options are now available to change the seats over for lower ones if it really grates on you. The stock seats are pretty decent in terms of comfort, as I said above I just came back from a driving holiday & I felt no aches or pains even on the longer stints I did. The heated seats really are good in the winter too.
The main negatives that most people would agree upon is the rear view mirror is far too low, but this can be remedied by a TGR mirror riser for extra vision. The boot space is limited & can only take 1 large suitcase before you need to lower the rear seats. Cabin noise is relatively high as they really cheaped out on any noise cancelation tech, although again this can be modded in if desired. And finally I would say the cabin is fairly plain inside, it's not going be anywhere near classy as an Audi/Merc inside.
Personally I am happy I got the GR Yaris, it's not a perfect car & does have it's downsides but this is my dream 2 door super hot hatch & the positives have far outweighed the negatives for me.
11/10 would buy again.
If you want some more info on a specific point give me a yell.
@@cathalfolan8441 It is like 95% of the people don't get it, and 5% REALLY get it.
just add this to the list of reasons i hate being american.
I'm so amazed that the president of Toyota got involved so deep on developing a new car. You don't see this often in automobile industry.
What a massively missed opportunity for every German car manufacturer. This GR Yaris will revive my old Subaru & Mitsubishi Evo days - Can't wait! 👍😉
Me too 👌
Germans are all marketing and not real engineers. When Toyota do something they do it right.
I am also looking forward to test drive it, as I had the evo 6 TME and would love to see and feel the difference between the two. Also thinking is it worth to trade in my i30n for this little rocket.
I know there is marketing behind this video, but the amount of enthusiasm really makes it stand out. My hat is off to Toyota for making this car happen. There are so few cars out there that were build for the driver and not just Excel charts. [signed: happy GT86 owner]
this might be my favourite car of the 2000’s until now!! the concept behind this car is ultra cool!!!
I should be receiving mine by the end of this year and will cherish it and drive it hard everyday just like my 93 Levin GT Apex it’s replacing! Thank You Toyota!
It's amazing their passion. MORIZO changed TOYOTA much better than before. Their provided us very exciting car such as 86, Supra, Yaris and more.
Congrats Mr. Morizo, you are a great leader. I wish you a lot of success.
The world need more cars like this , thank you Toyota
Akio Toyoda you are are a true petrol head - I thank you so much for following this dream, mine is on order before I have ever driven it, it is the first car I have been really excited about since the 90`s I have now had a test drive and it blew me away the best car I have ever, ever driven it is absolutely a dream come true. Well done and thank You TOYOTA you rule.
Thank You very much for the GR Yaris:-)! It feels like a masters car!
Thanks for this gift Akio Toyoda!!
And that's why i love my Toyota's. Engineered to last by people that still have pride in making their products
Back in the day when I know about Yaris, is more like a cutie little hatchback as for my first impression.
This guy certainly bring this car into a whole new level.
Of all the CEO of automakers today, Akio Toyoda is probably one of the most passionate one in terms of motorsports.
Can hardly believe they've done this, very counter-intuitive in the current zeitgeist. Would love to get my mits on one! I wish them every success with this! Very envious of those in the comments who've got one on order, good on-yer! They sort of have that feeling of Group B excitement.
This car is already a legend on the road. History on 4 wheels
Thank you Mr Toyoda, wait ....Akio. thank you Akio, salute.
Just amazing
He is such an awesome dude!
Thank you
An ambitious man , respect 🤚 I like this part 2:48
Nothing less than amazing
secon comment
GRヤリスデビューおめでとう
beautiful
The yaris is one badass rally car 😎
I see unlimited potential on this Yaris, let’s hope JDM fanboys don’t overprice it in order to buy one in this life (but it also deserves to be a little over rated tbh)
Potential w a 3 cylinder engine??? Wake up!!
Ty Brodie Potential to be riced, clearly
Respect!
I want this yaris right now 😭 price is a bit too steep here in italy but in 2/3 years when they will go down (I'm not sure because they will become instant classics like Evo and sub) I will buy one for sure
if they become instant classics like the wrx/impreza and lan evo, than the price wont drop or will be higher
@@patrik9745 it is still a new car.. price will go down a little for sure in 1/2 years but in my opinion not by a lot like the Cayman gt4
Bring this to the US!!!
GRヤリス欲しい。 モリゾウさんが社長でよかった
Akio Toyoda is EXACTLY what Toyota needed. We all know they can make reliable, affordable, everyday people mover cars and trucks, but the Toyota I grew up with and loved in the late 80's and 90's made some of the most exciting cars to me. Granted he had to compromise with the 86 and Supra, I'm excited he made this car. Unfortunately, as someone from the US, this is just like the 90's again where the most exciting cars from Japan are forbidden fruit to me. If the GR Yaris were available day one here in the US, I would have bought it. Coming from owning an Evo 8, WRX, and Focus RS already, you can see why I'm interested in this car, and why I would've bought it, instantly. I'm not as interested in a GR Corolla. I might not be as interested in a Toyota-Subaru joint venture for a possible ALL-TRAC/GT-FOUR Celica if it's using Subaru's good, but not as special AWD that the GR Yaris has. I wanted a 2-door hot hatch, this could've been it. Now, I will be more than willing to eat my words IF they do a Celica GT-FOUR/ALL-TRAC and it's a 2-door hatch, spectacular looking rally machine with over 300hp and 300ft-lb torque, and of course, a nice big wing with nice big Brembos. But I need a car soon. I may not be able to wait. It may be another WRX, STI, or Golf R even this time.
Toyota, bring this to the US!!!
Best car ever
SUBARUがキビキビ動く車を作らなくなってからはや数年、5ナンバーに強烈なエンジンをつんだこのヤリスに希望を見た
TOYOTAの社長かっこいいなぁ
1:58 that looks fun as hell
こんなん見せられたらガチで欲しくなる…
Go yaris!
Does anybody know the background song from 3:14 (3:54 and 4:10)? and about the GR Yaris... it is incredible car with breathtaking story! Thank you so much, Mr. Toyoda!
i neeeeed
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines. On top of that, he just came into Harry's and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust.
Need to make a gtr86 with the gr yairs engine in it and rear lsd at top gr yaris price. Watch them sell out
Toyota🇯🇵🎉 ❤🇲🇾
We want this in india
And on Launch Day....................
Sold out........
Stop being stubborn and let video game companies license Toyota cars. Otherewise current and next generation of kids will grow up not caring about Toyotas at all.
A GT fan is coming to say hello
Literally reverse engineered a race car into a road car but don't want to be associated with road racing.
@@TommyAngelo1337 they already changed that. Lmao.
Honda bean counters take note.
Rozbili bank ! , zrobili potwora !!!
Why not sell it in the US?
Most probably there's not that big of a demand from the US itself for things like this.
There's also some rumour that Toyota is gonna bring the GR treatment for the Corolla instead and making it a global car compared to this limited edition Yaris.
@@AbrahamArthemius what?! Amazing news. I've only owned corolla my whole life. I'd love to have one with power.
Abraham Arthemius Yeah, demand is not high I can tell. But this car is not about making money for Toyota anyway. Beside, GR Yaris is a whole new category: 3 cylinder + 4WD + super light weight. GR Corolla can’t compare with the Yaris. Just my opinion.
@@AbrahamArthemius I think they underestimated the demand in general 😅 stock meant for 8 months just sold out in 7 days in Australia... This thing will sell
I'm in the United States. I want this GR Yaris, and would pay 50% more than they are asking for it else's to buy it here. I do not a crappy 4 door, overweight, Corolla. I know, same engine, same AWD; whatever, not the same car.
I really want Toyota to facilitate getting these on USA roads, even if it's by untraditional means.
この車が330万ってほんと奇跡よね
I like it. Wish it had more power tho :/
You haven't even driven the damn car yet
all fun until you see the carbon taxe with the final price
日本人はコレクターか保有欲で満たされる、または外見を気にしすぎる傾向があり、見ず知らずがトータルバランスをあまり気にしない。僕はそれらの嗜好から逸脱するために所有者にB級ライセンス以上の所持を求めたい。部品を派手にしたり音を大きくしたりしなくとも、路面との摩擦が安定して保持できれば他車より良いタイムが出ることを強くユースに教えてもらいたい
パワー至上主義の人たちがいるのもまた事実。主にドリフトかタイムアタックやってる人たちがそうだけど…
Change your brand image lmao.
Having owned a lancer evo 5,driven 650hp R32 godzilla etc i would never buy this 3 cylinder piece of trash.
How could I pump that tiny engine up to the 550 whp I demand??? If it came with additional electric motor and had min 375hp maybe but this thing is dead slow!
Cool story bro... how many cars have you owned under, say, 1200 kg with more than 250 HP and (ft,lb) TQ? How many of those were AWD? How many had a full manufacturer’s warranty during your ownership? That's were comparisons to the GR Yaris should begin. Then, perhaps, 3-door, manual, performance homologation, and modern safety and drive convince features.
You sound like a typical (100% factory spec) V-8 owner that had said the same thing about 1000HP, and trash talked that Evo's tiny 4 cylinder.
I've owned many performance vehicles stock and modified, a few in with 4 figure power, still I would love to own a GR Yaris if they' sell it for street use in the USA. I think I would at least consider trading a 1000HP version of the two vehicles you mentioned for one, if I had to choose.
Not saying this car will be faster at everything than those cars, but I think it'll be more fun at some things. Clearly its not built for you. I'd say its built for people like me, but thats clearly not the case either, since Toyota won't facilitate my buying one. That, IMO, is the biggest problem with the GR Yaris.
@@ThomMurphy none and I would sooner by a used 4wd yaris from Japan and modify it myself than waste money on a slow car like this....
@@ThomMurphy my first car was a 323 turbo Mazda in 1988 1600 turbo 4, while I am sure it is a fun car I am bewildered that they put a 3 cylinder engine in it...Maybe I will fly to Japan and test drive it.
@@ThomMurphy you can bring one in i know how I did it with my evo 5 in 98 and made the cover of sports compact car magazine 😀 Anything is possible!
@@TyKingsSon You can't "bring one in", with full manufacturer’s warranty, which is fully legal for "normal" street use. That is not possible, without breaking/bending the law. Of course you can bring one in, you can even drive one on the public streets, legally, in limited capacity. You could build/modify one as well. I didn't say otherwise.
You can fly to Japan, but they have a 14 day quarantine, currently. Also, a US driver's (if that's were you're from) license isn't sufficient for usen on public roads. Those are issues to overcome beyond assuming you'd find someone willing to let you drive one.
Slow/Fast is relative. If this was available in the United States it would be one of the fastest AWD, manual, 3 door hatchs, ever offered here 3cyl or otherwise. Currently it would be in a class of its own. Likewise, as you said, "anything is possible". In my mind that would include getting one of these to the 550whp you demand, even if 75% of that might be acceptable if you could do so without a weight increase.
