Lately, I’ve been on a string of testing different Toyotas. From the class-leading efficiency of the all-electric bZ, to the sporty performance of the Camry Nightshade, and the utility of the Grand Highlander, you could say that I’ve had my fill.
So, when I came home a few weeks back and found the 2026 Toyota GR Corolla in my driveway, I shrugged it off because of the Corolla branding. Even though I was surprised by the Corolla Cross last year, this one didn’t immediately get my attention. But that changed the moment I opened the door, sat inside, and looked down.
