You were talking to the wrong person then. Their whole motto is selling at msrp... the fleet manager would be the best to talk to. They were willing to get me a gr corolla at msrp if they could get one. Low balling you on the trade in isn't surprising though.

 

Maybe I'll try again after this car sells. I'm kinda over dealerships for a bit so gotta wait until I'm motivated again.

 

Try my broker again when you are ready (if you still have his info). He is back to responding. Then no dealer nonsense.

 

I'll go through our old conversations and try to find it. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Media embargo finally lifted so a lot of press today about this car, which to me really seems to be a spiritual successor to the Evo..

I watched the savagegeese review and I think I'd really like to have one, but production is way too limited and dealers are going to absolutely rob us. Great car that enthusiasts aren't going to be able to afford, what's new?

 

42k car with no center arm rest, why? Why leave out arm rest, cars without arm rest i find it impossible to get comfortable.

 

What are you going on about? That is only on the chorizo edition, which took a ton of stuff out for weight reasons. It only has front speakers as well. It's not meant to be your daily.

Doesn't matter anyway as the chorizo edition will be unobtainium.

 

I hope this was an autocorrect

 

Hahha nope, intentional. That's what we have been calling that model in a Discord Track Guy group. lol

 

To be fair, one of the reviews I saw mentioned the lack of a center armrest (not in the "chorizo" edition) and specifically noted it was a pre-production model and Toyota had stated the center console in the test vehicles wasn't the production version. I don't think I heard this mentioned in any other reviews, so it would easy to think it the production intent if those are what you saw and happened to notice it.

 

"Chorizo edition" lol! As in the "spicy one" I guess...?

Only problem with the GR I see is if Toyota really only does a limited run that the dealers are going to charge people ridiculous amounts of money to get their hands on one, that or car speculators get them and then really drive prices up..

 

Yea, bad time to purchase a hot car like this...

 

At the back of the pack in almost every performance category. Still would like to drive it to see how dynamic and fun it is.

I didnt get the "Disappointing" tag from either the Vid or the written review. With a few aftermarket mods / tricks the GR may really come alive! Hey regarding interiors, I have a 2006 $30K Evo RS w/a full Tupperware sanctioned interior LOL. Good post for sure & thanks!
