The mechanical package looks seriously impressive.

It looks kinda like you'd expect it to, and I think I'd be kinda embarrassed to drive it, but

Wow.

The GR Yaris reviews suggest this will be a sensationally good car.

Yes, looks amazing, but doubt you’ll ever get close to one for MSRP (which hasn’t been announced yet) or find a dealer that will let you drive one.

This from the company that also just launched a new V8-powered compact sport sedan.
