I’ve been a fan of small, sporty Toyotas ever since my buddy told me about riding around California as a kid in his dad’s 1980s FX16, a twin-cam hot hatch the world wasn’t ready for at the time. So I’m not mad that there’s a new 300-horsepower Toyota GR Corolla hot hatchback, I just find one coincidence funny.
It all started this morning when we first saw the leaked photos and specs of the car. The Jalopnik staff took one look at this boosted, AWD hatchback and… indeed, Toyota made what is basically a 2008 Subaru STI, also a 300-HP AWD rally-replica hatchback.
