I love how people complain about not getting a manual in a sports car, and if there’s only a manual, they complain that they want faster shifting with an automatic. Then they complain when sports cars stop being produced. We are extremely fortunate Toyota is going all-in and giving us three different sports cars, with possibly two more on the way. Go buy one!! If not, stop complaining.

I just wish manufacturers abandon the DEALERSHIP part of sales... and just sell directly to consumers... tired of all the haggling and going back and forth and trying to get the best price for a mainstream non limited production car. That's why I love Lexus and having done business with more luxury brands and sales people to me make more sense, either A you can afford the car or B you can't and no reason to haggle with majority of the mainstream brands bullsh*t markups.

The fact that you can get fog lightsOEM from the factory it was a big plus I am a big fog light guy and I think it really does help the driving experience for any car but the fact that they took it away and gave it some ugly looking transformer front bumper really kinda makes me not want to get the car anymore.

Personal opinion since im gonna talk about design, n design is always subjective: The “squareness” of that GR corolla/yaris front grille clash horribly with the rest of the car. It doesnt work, in my eyes. The squareness of the grill just doesnt compliment the gentle curves, lines n bulges that u find throughout the yaris/corolla hatch. I mean, people complain that lexus has a large-ass grill, but they work, again, in my eyes - for the sedans n swoopy coupes anyways - coz theyre in line with the design language. Ofcourse, function over form i guess.

The new front bumper looks much better now. The GRC's front looked ugly before. Damn, this is really tempting if I want to replace my Veloster N DCT with another hot hatch. It doesn't sound like this new transmission is a dual-clutch. This has a lot of comfort features I like in Premium trim, but also lacks a handful of things compared to the VN. Ultimately, I'm probably not willing to pay over 50k for a Corolla though and a minor upgrade in performance. The N badge is more special to me than GR.
