Torchinsky/Ballaban 2020

I thought this as well, until I owned my GTI for the last 18 months. Somebody on this site mentioned it once- if you really like this style of car (anything on the Golf platform, that is), then the Golf R is just the best of everything on that platform, plus more performance. There’s plenty of things that cost $40k…

But which direction do the doors open? Billionaire doors or no? Clearly not gullwing anymore :(

The cost to develop a Yaris-specific hybrid system and the subsequent price to consumers would defeat the purpose of the Yaris in the first place.
