00:00:00.119 --> 00:00:02.280
(car engine roaring)
- Listen to that.

2
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:04.530
That's car sounds.
(car engine roaring)

3
00:00:04.530 --> 00:00:06.150
We love car sounds.

4
00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:06.983
Hey, what's up?

5
00:00:06.983 --> 00:00:08.070
It's Rory from Jalopik.

6
00:00:08.070 --> 00:00:12.660
I am out here trying to find
some decent driving roads

7
00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:17.660
to show you this 2023 Toyota
GR Corolla Morizo Edition,

8
00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:21.690
which means it's got a
little bit more torque,

9
00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:24.090
it's got no backseat,

10
00:00:24.090 --> 00:00:27.570
just kind of a bar in
place of the backseat.

11
00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:31.920
It's got Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

12
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.629
And it's probably the most exciting,

13
00:00:35.629 --> 00:00:39.720
entertaining car I've
driven in at least a year.

14
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:44.340
Every car, there's a balance
between refinement and fun.

15
00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:45.990
And I think, this one is,

16
00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:48.900
the fun slider is all the
way over to the fun side

17
00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:52.560
and the refinement slider
is pretty far down.

18
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.090
A lot of performance cars lately

19
00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:59.090
have very carefully-managed ideas

20
00:00:59.890 --> 00:01:03.570
about what you should hear, and smell,

21
00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:05.760
and experience while you're in the car.

22
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.250
And that means you add a ton

23
00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:12.300
of sound deadening to
kill unwanted sounds.

24
00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:15.100
You end up adding a lot of
unnecessary weight to the car

25
00:01:15.990 --> 00:01:18.390
in service of kind of hiding

26
00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:22.830
the car-like experiences of feeling heat

27
00:01:22.830 --> 00:01:24.954
and hearing different sounds.

28
00:01:24.954 --> 00:01:29.954
This car, you just get all the sound.

29
00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:31.170
You get...

30
00:01:31.170 --> 00:01:34.770
and really some, whatever
people would say,

31
00:01:34.770 --> 00:01:36.150
unpleasant sounds.

32
00:01:36.150 --> 00:01:39.690
So you get to hear stones
hitting the underside

33
00:01:39.690 --> 00:01:42.278
of the car when you pull
out of the driveway.

34
00:01:42.278 --> 00:01:47.278
(car engine roaring)
(sand hitting car underside)

35
00:01:49.410 --> 00:01:54.390
You get to hear the
turbo wastegate opening,

36
00:01:54.390 --> 00:01:55.800
you get to hear it flutter,

37
00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:58.920
and you get to hear honestly some buzzing

38
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.200
and rattling from the inside of the car,

39
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.470
but that to me is what makes it special.

40
00:02:04.470 --> 00:02:06.720
When you're experiencing some engineer

41
00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:11.130
or some product person's idea

42
00:02:11.130 --> 00:02:13.383
of what is pleasant about the car,

43
00:02:14.310 --> 00:02:16.050
you're really just getting their idea.

44
00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:19.860
You're not getting the reality of the car.

45
00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:21.660
You're not feeling, and smelling,

46
00:02:21.660 --> 00:02:25.080
and understanding exactly
what's happening at all times.

47
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:26.580
And I think, you really lose something.

48
00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:29.460
And this thing, you give up nothing.

49
00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:33.938
It's all joy, all fun, all sound.

50
00:02:33.938 --> 00:02:37.290
(car engine roaring)

51
00:02:37.290 --> 00:02:38.970
And that's what makes it different

52
00:02:38.970 --> 00:02:40.388
and that's what makes it cool.

53
00:02:40.388 --> 00:02:43.951
(air whooshing)
