Looks epic - love that kit. And if I end up being a copy cat.... at least it will be on a white one.

What is this replacing @markyy

Didnt expect the old dinosaur WRX STI to hold a candle to the GR

STI is the same as UK final edition spec
GR is the base version without LSD

Met a black one between Banbridge and Rathfriland last week, just about made the smile of the drivers face as it flew past me!

Saw a white one leaving the dealers in Ballymena and heading for fuel on trade plates! They look brilliant in person.

Great news
I really want to see one in real life haven't seen any yet. I was looking at Yaris hybrids yesterday online and even the standard Yaris aren't a bad looking car especially in metallic red, blue or grey but then I realised I'd be miserable driving a hybrid Yaris :joy:

Considering the E46 is a pretty old car, 2wd, heavier, etc etc....it did pretty well.

It'd interesting to know what tyres and brakes are fitted too. I'm sure cheap aftermarket stuff would hurt it in the braking department there, but it still did well.

The Yaris is faster...but I'd think the M3 more fun.

I haven’t driven one yet, but going by reviews, the whole appeal of the Yaris is how much fun it is.

How much more fun can it be than a typical 4wd turbo car ?

Perhaps the main hype about it is as there are just fewer new 4wd turbo cars around now ?
Light weight, proper mechanical diffs, wide track, short geared, over braked, centre diff control, wide arch totally different body style to the standard car, surprisingly rabid 1.6T 3cyl, suspension perfectly tuned for our roads...

Ah do you know what your right it’s just like a Golf R. Will call Toyota and cancel my order on Monday.
