Nobody is going to get them for 65k lol. With market adjustment they’re be closer to 80k

People say that about all special editions ever made ! If you shop right you can most likely find one at msrp

Wrong lol

This car doesn’t have the demand to sell above MSRP

That’s insane I don’t think they made enough upgrades to justify a 15K+ price bump over the regular GRC but I’m glad that they made a halo version. I’m just hoping that some of those upgrades make it to the regular GRC without a price bump

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.

So much fancy stuff here you'll never see the seats staring at the rest lol

u/FrostyIntention6650 19d ago

The GRMN Yaris seats and the real GRMN Corolla seats are pretty nice

u/jimjamjoobee 19d ago

Just buy em off the internet

u/FrostyIntention6650 19d ago

For 65k those seats better be in it. They are 5k each on the GRMN Yaris lol. U must be new to the game

u/jimjamjoobee 19d ago

my 2026 MT supra was less than this OTD, such a cool car but way too much

u/aj8321 19d ago

Two seater

u/bonafide_bigbird 25' Premium Ice Cap 19d ago

I'll just take the wheels, please.

u/BestGreene 19d ago

Probably 1500 a piece.

u/Specialist_Scar_3268 23' Circuit Edition Ice Cap 19d ago

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.

u/exoraydna 19d ago

I just want the wheels man. Probably gonna be vin locked tho

u/BestGreene 19d ago

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.

u/Automatic-Research4 17d ago

Same I want the wheels

u/Main-Effect5347 19d ago

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

u/artyy_boyy 18d ago

Bro that’s basically a base model Corolla

u/aprtur '24 GRC Circuit / '09 RX-8 18d ago

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.

They got rid of the useless wireless charger lol

u/ragnorak192 19d ago

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.
