Toyota’s all-wheel drive rally tearaway has Australian enthusiasts talking like few other cars.
The Toyota GR Yaris launched with a super-sharp $39,950 drive-away price for the first 1000 customers, before jumping to $44,950 drive-away.
That’s where the price sits at the moment on the Toyota Australia website, but the promised manufacturer’s recommended retail price is $49,500 before on-road costs.
