An altogether more likely (and easier) solution would be to tune up the Prius Prime's existing powertrain, which combines a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter with electric motors to generate 220 horsepower. Toyota doesn't say what the gas-electric power split is, but with displacement jumping from 1.8 to 2.0 liters in the new model, napkin math suggests an ICE power jump from just under 100 hp to around 110. That's nowhere near the potential of a Prius' ICE, as we learned from a guy hot-rodding a Prius C's 1.5-liter to And as much as we'd like Toyota to go that far and build a 9,000-rpm Prius, that's not even necessary for a GR Prius Prime. Even switching the engine from the thrifty Atkinson to the simpler, more powerful Otto cycle would pick up plenty of power. Add hot cams, improve the head, extract more out of the hybrid system, and total power could easily get into the mid-upper 200s. That doesn't sound like much, but the 220-hp 2023 Prius Prime can already do zero-to-60 in 6.6 seconds. Granted, the WRX isn't the highest bar to clear these days, but a GR Prius Prime with similar performance would be a much more appealing car. It'd have better torque, better gas mileage, better reliability, and wouldn't make people think you vape. It'd look better, too, and Toyota could improve the Prius still with GR aero parts that it has already designed. That picture of a GR Prius up top? That's an official Toyota concept with a GR splitter, spoiler, wind deflectors, and maybe more—Toyo...

Additional standard fare on the GR Supra 2.0 includes 18-inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler, and undertray for greater downforce and aerodynamic efficiency (which helps with fuel economy, too), and LED taillights, as well as auto-leveling LED headlights. It also comes standard with black Alcantara and leather-trimmed sport seats, an 8.8-inch LCD gauge cluster display screen, an 8.8-inch LCD infotainment screen, and automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers. Standard safety features across all trims include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a lane departure warning system, and automatic high beams. The Supra 3.0 receives a standard adaptive variable suspension and engine bay chassis braces, as well as Brembo upgrades for the front brakes that consist of four-piston calipers to replace the Supra 2.0's single-piston units, and larger-diameter 13.7-inch rotors to supplant the 13.0-inch rotors on the base model. Supra 3.0 also receives larger-diameter 19-inch forged wheels and brushed stainless steel exhaust tips instead of chrome ones, while the cabin adds six more speakers to go from four to 10 and swaps out the manually adjustable front seats for 14-way power-adjustable seats.

Those pony cars may be cheaper, but GR Supra 3.0 performance upgrades like the adaptive damping and bigger Brembo br...

Mack Hogan The initial outpouring of desire for the GR Yaris from the US community was huge. When the car was announced, petitions immediately popped up to tell Toyota there was a market for the GR Yaris in America. Granted, petitions like this are largely meaningless. Wanting something is one thing, actually writing a check for it when it arrives is another. Toyota could’ve ignored it and been just fine. Yet the company took it seriously, announcing that it would indeed bring a GR-branded hot hatch to the US. Just not the Yaris.

The last Yaris we got stateside was a rebadged Mazda2, a car totally different from the Yaris available in the rest of the world. Most other cars in that segment, like the Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit, Chevy Sonic, and the Mazda2 itself, have all long departed our market for a lack of sales. That means we don’t get the wonderful Fiesta ST anymore, and it also means the GR Yaris was never a lock to come to the US. Yet, in an interview with R&T, Jack Hollis, senior vice president of automotive operations at Toyota Motor North America said “When you say ‘ Did we consider [the GR Yaris]?’ we consider anything. It was just that we knew that GR Corolla fit our mar...
