Toyota Yaris GR-4 AWD Turbo

Yeah, the launch is in Canberra on Friday IIRC.

Press launch yes, pretty sure its actually Thursday. But fairly sure everything will be under embargo until the 9th. Some outlets may leak some stuff I'm guessing.

This video came out, testing tyres and some small mods around Tsukuba.

Pffft, I've done that in the back of a Clio RS 172 and I'd bet a Clio is smaller than that thing! :p Also, someone mentioned fitting a MTB in a Clio too so I think the answer is a Clio if you want to ride MTB's/chicks/ripple strips.

same, in my echo and im not the smallest bloke lol

work collegues bro was invited to go to a launch on saturday since he had put his deposit down to buy one. He got a call saying it was cancelled due to the cars being recalled worldwide for a seatbelt issue.

This is not great, wondering if we'll hear anything more official. Have heard of a couple launch events, which would have been cool to do. From what I hear nothing in Brisbane.

Another "preview" video from the UK. Unfortunately no driving impressions or anything overly interesting.


I'll keep on posting up videos as they come up. Everything is under embargo until Tuesday 10th (at least in the UK, I imagine its the 9th in Aus).

It's pissing down in Canberra today. Should make the reports from the launch drives interesting...

[nastysven]

I'm liking the red.

[SuperHoon]

Yeah the red is nice. I like it more than I thought I would.

Be nice to get an eta on delivery though. Maybe next week we'll hear something.

Some info from the UK, some interesting stuff. Looks like whipping up the handbrake does indeed stop power to the rear wheels!
