No Haldex on the MK8?

That version of the Yaris is limited to a small number of units, loses the rear seats and has a roll cage. I agree that it's cool, but it's not anything I'd compare to a Golf R. We're also dealing with a car that seems to be tapped out at about 375hp on pump gas, a number that a Golf R isn't going to have any issue surpassing, but of course it is coming with a side serving of pork.

Wrong......in the UK there is no roll cage & you still get 40/60 split rear seats.....

Do you try to be belligerent? The version you posted about three posts ago is a limited run of 500, all for Japan. I know the regular car isn't limited production, no one has tried to argue that. But it also doesn't have mechanical diffs, it isn't hand built and yes, it doesn't have a roll cage. I realize it's drinky drinky time over there, but try to play well with others, ya ginger...

You're NOT reading & more importantly NOT UNDERSTANDING what I have written....I have NEVER mentioned the limited edition GRMN version (which has a 1.8lt engine & NOT the 1.6lt of the GR)

I have always stated that I am talking about the GR Yaris with the "CIRCUIT PACK".....which DOES have the front & rear Torsen diffs, & IS hand built, & DOES have rear seats, & DOESN'T have the roll cage....

Toyota UK website page for the Yaris GR....read & UNDERSTAND ........& I also attach the UK sales brochure for the GR Yaris with the three UK spec packages...again READ & UNDERSTAND
