vs GR Corolla

[citrus]

True, I remember people saying they should have added a piece to the door to make it look more flush.
Enter the aftermarket. I dont hate it. Varis do something similar

I'm so used to seeing the "missing" chunk that filling it looks a bit weird to me now lol

Even so, the whole 10th gen hatch looks like it was designed for a Type R in the first place, so the look matches the intent perfectly. If anything, the normal version looks a little too aggressive. On the other hand, Corolla hatch also looks sportier than it really is, but maybe that didn't leave enough room on the table for the GRC; the vents on the hood and fenders look especially tacked on, like cheapo sticky bits from AutoZone, even if they're functional.

Interesting. I don't debate where you are coming from. I look at it differently. I felt like the 10th generation Civic was an over-correction to a bland 9th generation. I felt like the Type R looked like aftermarket bits placed on it to arrive at the FK8. Something I find appealing about the FL5 is that it looks like it was going to be a part of this from the ground up.

FK8 owners:

There's a reason I didn't buy an FK8 but am smitten with the FL5...

That functional piece was meant to be on the door from Honda’s own final design but Honda cheaped out during manufacturing of the car. It looks odd without the piece.

For anyone who wants to know how the AWD system in the Corolla works

Canadian pricing is also out now:
Core: $45,490 (comes standard with LSDs and heated seats)
Circuit edition: $53,900
Morizo edition: $59,990

Core will clearly undercut the new Type R in Canada. I wonder if the new CTR will be priced at the same level as the Circuit edition... If so I'm gonna have to tap out tbh and Core GRC it is lol.

The only plus GRC has over the FL5, for me specifically, is the manual handbrake
Would it kill Honda to give one in the CTR?

Yeah, it's a shame. I think it's just a cost-cutting measure at this point.

Things I learned today.

center arm rest is coming on production cars (thank god).

Car only oversteers on dry pavement if you use the handbrake. Want to see a review in the rain, but that’s disappointing.

love the GR but still leaning toward the Type R cause it’ll fit my lifestyle better with much better interior room, adjustable suspension, and nicer interior.

if ADMs are still $10k in 2-3 years I’ll get the GRC (assuming it’s not also $10k lol).

I want a Type R because Honda > Toyota

Someone link their forum so they can see the shots I have fired.

What a snoozer of a forum. Glad this forum doesn't have tons of spam ads every other post.

#16 has no place to be there as most car enthusiasts think all EVs are just boring straight-line grocery getters. Imagine a proper sporty EV from Honda, maybe 5 years from now at the earliest?
