![]() Some interesting info around a new family of 4 cylinders here. And the weird mid-engine Yaris.

Now let's take the Yaris M Concept. Nothing under the hood and a 4 banger in the back seat. I imagine any mid-corner lift could get you closer to God! ![]() |

![]() These new four cylinders sound extremely promising from everything I have read. Regardless of liking the GR versions of the Yaris and Corolla. I'd be much more comfortable with a four cylinder than the three.I am greatly looking forward to the vehicles these engines call home. Not so much interested in a rear mid engine Yaris. A practical car that offers performance is what I would expect from anything with a Yaris badge.
I am still glad they managed to get the G16E-GTS into a vehicle in the US market. I know it's only a matter of time before its swapped into other vehicles due to its small packaging. And I mean other than Toyota's examples. Heck with the K swapped STIs being done you may be able to put one of these three cylinders in without the engine sticking out of the hood, lol. |

![]() My assessment of the Toyotas GR Yaris/Corolla experiment is that G16 is a riot, but the lighter the host chassis the better. GR Yaris is a phenomenon. GR Corolla, 400lbs heavier is still a gem but doesn't seem to have nearly the same impact on people once they're actually driving it.
This is my long winded way of saying GR86 would be a perfect candidate for a G16 variant ![]() |
