The Detroit Three automakers have abandoned small cars, but foreign manufacturers continue to embrace a compact market full of first-time buyers and enthusiasts.
Toyota unveiled a U.S.-focused performance variant of its best-selling Corolla compact car Thursday night called the GR. That’s pronounced Grrrrr.
Based on Corolla’s hatchback model, the GR will feature aggressive styling and an insane, 300-horsepower, turbocharged 3-cylinder engine shared with the wee GR Yaris that has been setting European streets on fire.
