This isn’t making a Miata look like something else.  This is building a car and using a Miata as an organ donor for many of the parts.

I was thinking it has a subtle Mk.I Escort vibe to it. I also dig it.

Ahhhhh, goddamnit. Well I was on board until this...
Fuckin’ hell would it kill people to make actual gauges and controls instead of this shit that actually kills people? The number of pedestrian accidents is on the rise because of stupid “centric” designs based around a touch screen like this that take your eyes off…

The photos and some sections call it an “Alpha” and others call it an “Alfa” which I read as Alfa Romero, part of the FCA empire. You should probably fix the typos.

I’m bad at parking.

I got it lifted just for highway driving.

I designed the exhaust system on this car!  Still looks good!

When you replace every piece of the car, is it still the same car?

The body-in-white of this car is different to any other Yaris - it really was meant to be a homologation special. If Ford only made a 5-door Fiesta and then made a 3-door Fiesta RS with aluminium and carbon panels, a dedicated platform, AWD, a bespoke engine and an entirely different rear suspension design, that’s…

It is the year 2020, and this is one of the dumbest comments I’ve read on the internet this year. That is a high bar to clear, and you my friend, have done it.

It was so dumb I recovered my password to make this comment.

Your screenname only adds to the hilarity. 

Got only half as many doors as a Camry too!

Watch Misha Charoudin’s Nurburgring lap and tell me it accelerates slowly... even in the uphill section it’s pulling way harder than my Focus RS.

Sigh. Every time I read an overseas review of this car (including this one) I get that much more depressed that outside of the 25-year rule, we’ll never get it here.

To test Toyota’s homologation hot hatch, this street-legal version of a rally car that’s never actually going to compete in the World Rally Championship, I found one in a rental fleet and jumped at it.

Every fun car I’ve ever owned would have had their doors blown off by my wife’s minivan. But I miss all those fun cars. A tiny car that weighs less than three of my more juicer farts is insanely fun to drive, even if there are less than 3 digits in the hp and/or torque departments.

So you are comparing the power figures of 1.6L 3 cylinders to a 3.5L 6 cylinders.............. Interesting

I just imagine the GR Yaris grabbing the wrists of the GT86 and smacking them into it’s face while saying “stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself!”

I have a couple of friends who ride share and the main reason they do it is because of the flexibility of work hours and they get to “work for themselves”. I always tell them if this is what they plan on doing quit being lazy and get your CDL already.

in wheel aka hub motors, while potentially the most efficient solution due to reduced drivetrain losses, are really a non starter for several reasons.

1: unsprung mass - basically the weight of your wheel, tire and hub assembly (plus 250 HP electric motor in this case) this directly relates to both ride quality and…

The top review.
