New car this week: Toyota Yaris GR
Toyota has been working hard to overhaul their image of being the grandpa’s choice of automotive manufacturer with the all-new Supra. In Europe, considering the popularity of the hot-hatch, Toyota has seen fit to inject some much-needed performance into the Yaris, and the result is the all-wheel drive, 1.6 litre 258 HP/265 lb-ft torque turbo Yaris GR. If the specs don’t make you drool, how about the fact that the 1.6 litre displacement of the engine puts it in a favourable tax bracket for Bangladesh, and prices are likely to be low for a car that has Lancer Evo levels of performance? One can just hope a few brave dealerships bring at least a few units in—a nimble AWD turbo hot-hatch with gobs of power is just what you need on Dhaka streets.
