Out & about yesterday (alas not in the Yaris), I looked in my rear view mirror to see a Hilux directly behind me. I then noticed a discreet GR badge on the grill. I thought the owner had just stuck it on for a bit of a giggle. But no, it's the real deal: https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/toyota/gr-spor...

I had no idea these things existed

Yeah, Toyota have a multi-tiered GR thing going on from actual GR cars such as that Lemans car they ended up pulling the pin on, to the GR Yaris and all the way down to "GR Line" with slightly lowered suspension but mostly stick on tat. GR Prius, GR CHR, GR Hilux. There's even a GR minivan type of thing in Japan too.
Thank you for your knowledge. I suppose it's similar to the Ghia range that Ford used back in the day. I'm surprised that Toyota haven't kept the GR 'brand' for the more performance end of the market, again like Ford did with their RS line.
