On March 31 Toyota will unveil an “all-new GR sports car in the U.S.” during a live stream starting at 9:30 p.m. Eastern.

What, exactly, could this new car be? Based on the images and video provided, plus a line in the release that says Toyota has already “released preview images of the All-New GR Sports car,” there’s a good chance we’ll be watching the unveiling of the brand-new Toyota GR Corolla.

"Corolla" and  "sports car" really don't go together.

Maybe sports sedan or sport hatch. I'm betting they bring out something that's little more than an appearance package.

I'm afraid of how much it is though

Mighty Car Mods got a GR Yaris that looks pretty interesting. Sadly, I wonder what dealer markup would be on such a car these days.

I bet it's the Corolla GR.

And 100% its 4wd and turbocharged

I was going to say, can we please have the GR Yaris and not have to wait 25 years to get one?

Exactly this. It has been teased for a couple months now. The one was deciphered like two hours after they posted it with the infotainment screen posting the name "GR-Four", the horsepower 286 and a few other bits and bobs. 

Car is going to be bonkers and Toyota is hopefully going to sell a ton of them.

Will they sell a ton?  My Honda guy talks like they might get 2-3 CTR's next year.   Make us some cars already.

I think a lot of the volume they're going to sell is also on how the dealers handle the sale process.

$20k market ripoff adjustment and no test drives isn't going to help, for example. Plus I think Toyota doesn't allow the dealer to order a car (at least that seemed to be the case with the new 86), they have to take their allocation.

Well,  the RAV4 Prime is currently unavailable as is the 86 (the two that I was interested in) and the Yaris GR doesn't even come stateside. What ever it is will likely be very cool and capable and unavailable either through limited numbers, parts constraints or dealer mark up.
