It’s just a pop-up booth selling various GR merchandise and some suspension. Wasn’t impressed at all. The workshops are just normal servicing. And they sell other Toyota makes. The thing about selling cars in Malaysia or any other countries is quite different from Singapore. Toyota Malaysia main dealer is UMW with smaller independent ones like the 5 above. These independent dealers also import models direct from Japan that’s not available by the main dealer. They also have tuning motor sports to heighten their company dealer profile.

UMW nowadays is the importer of Toyota. It longer runs any dealership. Mutiara is 1 of the AD. Mutiara has other car biz outside of Toyota AD.

I’d rather get a AMG A35 at this price. Borneo allocated 20 units and at least 17 is sold . Price around 190k only , not 240 ... But frankly , most of these buyers will still buy if it’s 240 k as frankly who in the right mind will pay 190k for a Yaris ... Expected launch date May 2021 with first few cars delivery May / June ... cannot wait for it to be here ..

So easy to say.. for xxx$$, I rather buy GTI; C-Class; 320i; Sorento; 10 units of DBS shares etc etc GR Yaris is unique and appeals to a limited group of people who understand that it is a WRC rally car converted to civilian use. There is almost no precedent in history. Toyota had to do this in order to design an all-out rally car from scratch; as there are rules that it must be based on an equivalent civilian car. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather get a AMG A35 at this price. I will buy GR Yaris over A35: 1. Unique chassis as compared to bnb Yaris; A35 no diff from A180; 2. Most powerful 3 pot in the world. It is only 50hp short in power as compared to A35. 3. MT only. A35 no MT. 4. Driver switchable central diff. 5. Sleeper 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to WRC rules they need to sell at least 25k of civilian equivalent car. The current quota restrictions is probably because it is not mass produced on normal assembly line but hand-built in a special part of motomachi plant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Toyota decided against racing the GR Yaris but continue with the previous Yaris GRMN chassis. Edited December 25, 2020 by Toeknee_33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
