Re: Toyota Yaris GR
If you no longer can order a 911 Turbo with a manual, you can get this affordable turbo Toyota hot-hatch with ( -389 hp ) / ( -360 kg ) and ( -3 cylinders & -2.2L ) 
Whoever plans to order one needs to be careful, the fully loaded one with Red brake calipers come with std rear LSD vs Open diff in the lower trim with Black brake calipers.
Re: Toyota Yaris GR
I was today at our local Toyota dealer for the first time in my life...
Lease offer with performance pack 36 months - 10K Km/year (all services included/also brake pads) monthly rate is 370 EUR incl. MwSt.
The first testcar will arrive here next week - delivery time is approx. 2-3 months.
Colors only: 2 whites, red, black.
I will wait with my decision after my testdrive...

PS:
@RC - The insurance rate for this car will be very interesting, if you want to include your 17/18y son with his new drivers license - I would guess around 1.800 EUR/year...
All the hardcore GT3 guys are excited about a Toyota

Buy it in the UK. Ship it to Canada for track use. After 15 years get normal plates.
Problem is you can't ship it here until after 15 years...........
Technically it can get to Canadian soil but it will be stuck inside the customs warehouse for 15 years.

I believe they said something about developing a Corolla GR for the N.American market.

There was a discussion of German bathroom design.

Re: Toyota Yaris GR
I am driving the A45 S AMG right now and I have to say this car is fun, even if the sound is crap. Quality is amazing but so is the price tag (the one I found is 77k EUR before discount).
The Yaris GR has one small problem for me...the manual. No issue for me, no issue for my son (I guess, don't know yet) but this car would be just a toy my wife and/or my daughter wouldn't be able to use. I know, I know, for 350-370 EUR a month (lease), this is actually not dramatic but still...another car which is limited to two drivers in the family only? Hmm...I'm still not sure. The A45 S is over 700 EUR a month, not really a bargain but quality is, like I said, amazing. This feels and drives like a small car but when you sit in it, you get the feeling that you are in a much higher class. Very difficult decision.

Without AWD system and with more weight (but same 3-cyl engine), not very compelling 
...
One is a short-wheelbase homologation special with racing-developed (rear-biased) AWD and the other is a 5-door FWD 3-cyl economy car.

Re: Toyota Yaris GR
RC, 70k for A-class is just insane. Hot hatch cost no more than 40k. Above that price is pure loss after you get out of showroom.
The Yaris is priced correctly and limited to 25,000 cars worldwide it is actually interesting offer.

I would never buy this car... 
Still negotiating with the dealer, he wants 700 per month, I want to pay only 600. Not sure he will agree though, he is stubborn.
It is a very nice hot hatch (421 hp) and drives really nice (the turbo lag is worse than on my Biturbo V8 GLC63S though, especially in the lower rev range). I like how stealth this car is: Had a white test car today, with silver winter wheels, it looked like a normal A class, only from behind there was a difference and of course looking at the huge red AMG brake discs in the front. Sound is basically non-existent, what you hear in the inside is a sound generator. Outside, there is nothing. Can be an advantage as well in the city. 
The Yaris is priced correctly and limited to 25,000 cars worldwide it is actually interesting offer.
My local Toyota dealer told me that he has zero demand for the Yaris GR. The biggest issue seems to be insurance, which can get expensive for young drivers but also the fact that this car is really expensive compared to the standard Yaris. For me, the biggest issue is the manual. I would basically exclude my daughter and my wife for ever driving it, not that they really want to.

Re: Toyota Yaris GR
I showed the car to my wife with the idea we change her Mini Clubman JCW for the Yaris GR.
She said : No way. Are you mad or what ? I insisted explaining how special and cool the car is . She said : It looks like it is made for teenagers boys. Never will I be seen in that thing.

That's odd, why would they add an unknown hot hatch to their upcoming vehicles

Haha, just did the same thing, and my wife said "that could replace my (9 yr old) STi Subaru! Looks like a perfect city car and winter beater..." But, she is by now used to compliments from teenage boys on her STi hatchback... and she would be well older than your wife... different car cultures for sure though between us and CH.
Not sure why Toyota decided so quickly not to bring it to NA; could be something they know will not pass certification.

New plan: Wait a few years and buy one used. Keep it in Europe for a number of years and tour Europe every summer. Then ship it to Canada. Not sure if it will be a future classic, personally I doubt but then again I may be wrong.
