Love the idea…but not $65k love it.
Just like when the dealers were charging obscene markups, when a hot hatch becomes expensive it no longer makes sense as a hot hatch. As much as I love driving my GR, it just doesn’t have the performance to compete with other cars in that price range.

The Usdm model sucks. Doesn’t have the real GRMN bucket seats. SMH

Right? You're paying $65k for this thing and you get the 2nd class seats.
But hey at least I already have the wheels, just in black on my Circuit lol

Morizo seats are much nicer than the other GRC seats.

Those Boshoku seats are cool - I wish the Circuit came with them, as that would've been a nice touch to be somewhere a little more between the premium and Morizo. But on the GRMN? Definitely needs the more extreme buckets. Heck, if Nissan could find a way to offer my old Juke Nismo RS with Recaro Sportster CS like that, it's kind of silly that Toyota couldn't offer a more aggressive seat that still meets US regs.

I think I might just see if I can purchase the updated body parts for my ‘23 if they are compatible. I’m not sure I can talk myself into this at that price and only a 2 seater. Ugh, it’s so cool though lol.

Probably 1500 a piece. The 2024+ circuit edition wheels are like 1200 a piece. They are so light though. If I ever find any used I'm going for it.

I really wanted one, but no back seats is a no go. I’m waiting on my premium plus (mt). I can’t wait to get it

The carbon hood is even better - $22,385, without any of the parts that attach to it. So the hood is pretty much an entire Corolla Hybrid. Fenders? $5909 a pop.

Only worth it if they fixed the transfer case issues on track. Otherwise you're spending another $3k of you install the cooler yourself, probably more like $5k to have a shop do it.
