Too bad they didn't do a recap or recommendation. I feel like the GR Murizo is the better "track car" but the better "everyday car" probably goes to a Standard Corolla. The best of both worlds is the Golf R. It's nicer inside, very practical, and drives great on the road but offers previous-generation of supercar performance at your fingertips and shreds on the race track. Although, sometimes it's better to have two tools for different jobs: a boring beater car for the road, then a sports adventure for the weekends (ie bike, sports car, jet ski, etc etc).
@@clkgtr12 No doubt. But if you had to live with one of those cars, let's say as a Loan for 1-Year and it's Free. Well, that's probably the best choice here. Unless you prefer having separate vehicles for separate purposes.
Anyone who has ever been a videographer, worked on production, or been apart of a production company knows how insane a project like this, at this caliber is to pull off. From the story boarding, coordinating the cars, cinematography and editing. This is about as good as it gets. And yea, they do all that weekly… this is next level by every standard!
This video wasn't just a performance comparison of these new vehicles, it was an ode to life, success, determination, and a thank you to Toyota, specifically Akio Toyoda himself. I also believe this marks the end of an era because as he steps down from his role, whoever Akio is being replaced by, will be meeting the demands of the industry that made Akio himself could not appease anymore. For us enthusiasts, Akio was the industry leader we needed, but for society, he's seen as a barrier, sadly. It's a bittersweet journey, perhaps, maybe, the end of a chapter (for now).
Mr. Akio Toyoda's new stage seems to be a political fight to protect not only Toyota but also those who work in the automobile industry around the world, and to continue to give dreams to automobile fans. Also, the new president is a MORIZO child, so I don't think there will be any wavering.
This is what Top Gear should have been like. Every moment, on the edge of the seat and completely immersed. Hats off to the writers and the entire production team.
For the sake of clarity, the GR Yaris WRC didn't happen because the WRC implemented testing restrictions amid COVID-19. By the time the GR Yaris homologation special would've been allowed to test, Toyota had run out of time to properly develop it for the 2021 season, which would've been its only competitive season anyway as the Rally1 regs were set to come in a year later. From DirtFish: _"Its first test was in February 2020 but by April the FIA had imposed a ban on testing due to the effects of the pandemic being realized globally. Toyota attempts to grant itself an exception as it wasn’t seeking to test its current car but its 2021 car. However the FIA stands firm and says no."_ These days, the teams build spaceframe chassis that they then turn into stuff that looks like the road cars, so not only is this the first proper homologation special story we've seen from the WRC in years, but it's likely to be the last one we see for a while.
The good thing is Toyota is currently developing a Rally2 version of the GR Yaris, production body (just like the old WRC regulation) & kept the 3cyl turbo engine as well (which was designed to be homologated for R5/Rally2 use).
Thank you. Gets on my nerves that overrated GR Yaris is called "homologation special" by neckbeards who yearn for old times and think this is something like Ford RS200 or Lancia in this video. GR Yaris never raced in WRC and never will. Also, how can he say "most powerful 3 cyl engine in the world", when next to Yaris is Corolla with more powerful engine?
@@AbrahamArthemius mate, when people say "rally", they mean WRC. Not WRC2, not WRC3, not your local rally, but WRC. Same when people say "Formula" - it's "Formula 1", not 2 or 3 or 4. No one cares about WRC2.
I didn’t think Hagerty videos, especially Jason and crew’s, couldn’t get any better, yet this is exponentially more amazing than anything this channel has put out before.
WOW! In the UK in the early 90s,I owned a lancia delta hf turbo Martini ,it had loads of work done on the engine, we had to strap it down when it was put on the rolling road! It made 194 bhp which these days doesn't sound a lot, but believe me, it was an absolute weapon I've always had fast car's, but the delta is the one that stands out! So I can imagine how good the integrale is, I always wanted one, but now the prices are outrageous!
The very fact that the corolla is the fancy 'Morizo' edition with no back seats is still slower than the FWD Type R around a track just goes to show what engineering skills Honda has..and by the way , hats of to the Hagerty team for a top notch video...reminded me of the old UK Top gear days
And yet having driven a FWD Honda with lots of diesel torque, I would take AWD any day of the week. In fact, I wont be buying a Honda again, unless it is from the upper segment like the Accord.
Watched the whole thing without skipping any frames - its like a film rather than a vlog. Beautiful storytelling, insane cinematography & perfect editing. There’s only one very minor details at 17:00 that I found typo on GR Corolla’s lap time. Cheers! Please continue making this legendary stuff!
I don't even know how to start this but let me be grateful for the hardwork and passion everyone involved in this project have. I've been a racing fan and car enthusiast since I was a child in the early 90's watching Senna on his F1 on sundays, and since then, even though I kept track of cars and motorsports, only after finding this channel I can say that I had this smile on my face watching this content, that same smile that I had when I was a child, with pure awe, the same one that only real passion can evoke, and for that I thank you, every single one of you that made this possible.
As a Spaniard,I almost drop a tear of joy when i saw Carlos Sainz Sr podium in this AMAZING video.Camissa,you are killing it!(and the whole team that produce this magnificent pieces of automotive art)
Of course I'm proud of the number of people who talks spanish around the world.But I'm trying(my english is really bad) to write in english in case of the people that made this videos see this comment and let them known that they are doing a fantastic job.
You're proud of someone else's achievements based on both beingborn in the same country? One of my favourite comedians said this. "Nationalism does nothing but teach you to hate people you never met, and to take pride in accomplishments you had no part in". Enjoy your pride 😂 Have a good day though. 👍
I've had my GRC Core for about three months now, and I have to say, it's the happiest I've ever been with a daily driver. It's pretty much the perfect "good in every climate/season, fun on the weekends, decent enough city driving during the week" car. Toyota did a really great job.
I picked up my is500 about 4 weeks ago now, I love it, but when I got to the dealer to pick it up there was a GR Corolla parked next to it getting delivered the same day, I was a bit jealous.
@@svang1991 I mean there's usually a lot of stray/random cars at dealerships. And given how premium of a product the GR Corolla is I think it makes sense that it was getting delivered at a Lexus dealership.
@@85CEKR I get it! I daily a significantly modded Chevy SS and I really want a GR Corolla to move to daily driver status. Something about the little car that's faster than it should be.
Jason you are the man. It is quite refreshing to see an American automotive journalist who is better than their British counterparts. Excellent job buddy!
I don't normally comment, but this video was so good, i have to commend you guys on the continued effort to produce world class videos. Amazing job guys...
As a GRY Performance pack owner since 2021 and having seen all videos on YT, this is by far the most entertaining and best quality. The Lancia was the cherry on the cake! The non performance GRY being so close to the GRC Morizo means that the perf pack one would probably beat it (especially with Cup2 tires).
as a USA viewer, i really hope you give your yaris as much love and cherish you can for all of us over here that would have loved a 3 door hottest hatch version.
No kidding, right? Someone give Esposito, Pobst and Cammisa a proper script and let them show the Fast and Furious guys how actual driving can be exciting as hell.
The delta integrale is just a timeless classic. Thinking of rallycars and raaly games you think about the delta, the did a really good job back in the day.
Like comparisons in other countries it’s hard to compare apples with apples due to the huge differences in tyre ability. The circuit pack GR Yaris comes with pilot sport 4S tyres that make a huge difference on their own. I know they can only test what they have but, I’d love to see this test again with everything on the same rubber. Great video and very enjoyable to watch.
Seems like a no-brainer... If you want to compare the cars isolate the variables as much as you can. Comparison with different tires does not give us the most useful information possible.
I rarely comment, but this is truly a masterpiece. Jason and his team have truly captured the ethos of Toyota’s GR dream through stunning videography and Cammisa’s in-depth analysis. I have watched a lot of car videos on TH-cam, but few if any truly top this one; keep up the good work.
@@shivamarya5225 that's true but lancia still won manufacturers albeit with 3 teams and a lot more entries to drive the integrales than toyota had with celicas
What a superb story-telling. This is what quality content looks like. It entertains me while it educates me about the history and how it relates to today's hot-hatch icon. Keep up the good work!
Fun fact - the team of engineers responsible for the Delta, in 1992 was moved to work on Alfa 155 DTM, which won the first year it went against new competitors. Than they worked on the Alfa Romeo 156. The 156 uses the same rear suspension as the Delta (only the Q4 version of 155 used something similar while other 155 models were just Fiat Tempras) but also a double wishbone fron suspension. So the closest you can get to a Delta Integrale but on the cheap, is Alfa 156 Crosswagon Q4. It also uses very similar 4 wheel drive system but has a 150 hp Alfa JTD diesel that can eat additional power like no other
Every time cammisa drops a video, It is an instant watch. Well appreciated hagerty team and jason. Great content, directing and editing. Edit: Forgot the script, Amazing !
i just comment about that too. people notice how pro's this is. its like watching a movie where the scene is so good you dont realized all the angle they shoot at
how in the heck can you guys keep pumping out masterpiece after masterpiece like this? Amazing job with the scripting, editing, sound design, shot framing, etc etc. A treat for the eyes and ears
Everyone hates to announce one of the best automakers in business, Honda. The pinnacle of racing is F1 and Honda is always holding the crown of F1. Not even Porsche, McLaren, BMW, Lambos, etc dear claim the title. They all are trying to knock Honda off the thrown in F1. This is why I always find if funny how people say Honda can't make good cars. They just make cars trying to fit into the segment. Even if they released exotic super cars that are great, people still have an issue with them because it has a Honda badge.
@@wanglee21 I want to like Honda so bad but they need something beyond just the Civic Si/TR. Give me a ITS with SH-AWD and/or a DCT and I'll order one yesterday!
Yea but FR sucks and most don't track. FR Wheel hopping annoying as fug, it turns corners surprisingly well but... it feels dirty.....I prefer AWD all day. I can say this because I own 21' CTR and 21' STI. If CTR had STI's awd and the rumbles...man that would be perfecto!!!
PLEASE do not ever stop making these videos Jason and Randy. Exceptionally delivered, very informative and some LOL's...I can not wait for the next one... Give them both a massive increase!!!
Hey guys.. the data on the Icons leaderboard stated that the corolla morizo should be in third. The time for the corolla is 1:22:09 which is quicker than the civic…
What is there to say... Great Cars, Great Drivers, Great story telling. It's just greatness overload whenever Hagerty gets Mr. Cammisa and Mr. Pobst have fun with the cars. Just when we think we've seen the best episode, they outdo themselves on the next! THANK YOU HAGERTY TEAM!
It' s far from stock and pushed via Rally crosscutting editing to a not normal exhaust sounding. This engine normally is far from sound like a race engine.
The Yaris GR is the most sensational car I've ever driven. And I have owned a Porsche 997 GTS and currently drive an M2 Competition. I rented the little Yaris for a weekend and it was more fun than those two combined, for less than half the money...
Man, what you are doing is untouchable at the moment. You’re getting everything together. Science, knowledge, editing, production, fun, character, charm. Aiming high 🔥
Hagerty is the best car channel on youtube at the moment by far. I used to favour Savage Geese. They had such a good musical sting. Very intelligent commentary too but Hagerty are so much broader and more professional now. Top Job. Luv and Peace.
Another mind-blowingly entertaining AND informative film by the Camissa / Esposito dream team. Loved the historical timeline... (and that you guys assemble all the cars that are part of the story, no matter how small a part they play.)
The times the Corolla and the Civic put down are absolutely mindblowing when compared to the Ferrari. Who would've thought this was possible several years ago. Also, appreciate how much time was dedicated in the video just for getting the cars sideways!
@timwattison4419 even with the new gr corolla coming out next year the power will only equal the mk2 gr yaris. Same power from both cars, gr yaris all the way. Can't beat weight
These Hagerty comparo tests with Cammisa and Pobst are solid gold. Their crew is amazing and the video footage is outstanding. I wish they did more, but i know so much work is involved in making a 20 minute video. Thanks guys.
I'm from Germany and my brother drives and own a GR Yaris with the Performance package. The car is impassable and not fast at the track without the locking differentials in the front and rear. The Performance package modell has the locking differentials in front and rear, stronger brakes, brake cooling and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. With this set up on the track, it's just as fast as the GR Corolla. Thank you to all of the team for the great video! We all must celebrate these kind of cars. I drive a Subaru BRZ from 2017, my brother the GR Yaris. Let‘s hope that we will get more cars like these in the future😎
You've outdone yourselves here, Jason + team. The storytelling, the driving, the sheer cinematic quality of this video - let's not forget this is "only" a YouTuve video. Please keep on making these, you're definitely one of the best channels on here.
Awesome video. Should have tested the GR Yaris with the Circuit Pack though, it´s a different beast with three torsen differentials compared to the one with the open differentials you reviewed. Also has forged wheels and better brakes.
Yeah, with the full rally diffs and stickier tyres the full fat Yaris would have kept up with the Corolla easily. And tuning the engine to get more power is a much easier option than trying cut weight from the Corolla. But as the US don't get the Yaris, let them think the Corolla's better! 😅
Totally agree with you Antonio. From the tests I saw, the difference between the GRY with and without the Circuit Pack is so huge. With the Circuit Pack (I have two of them in my garage) it's really an ultimate rally car adapted to the road, and it's actually the base for the GRY Rally2. It would have won the comparison hands down, no doubt about it
As an Italian I can only say thank you for the amazing tribute to our beloved Deltona. That said, Toyota is making some crazy sports cars (and not just sports ones), but the new Civic Type R is also great, in fact you demonstrated it frame after frame in a fantastic way. However, I'm still too much in love with my Giulia Veloce to sell it and switch to a Civc Type R.
Good video, but maybe not fair to compare the Morizo Corolla to the base GR Yaris. In Japan you can buy more extreme versions of the Yaris, which would have been a better comparison. Still, it's great that Toyota are actually producing interesting cars again.
They recently even made a Sebastian Ogier & Kalle Rovanpera (their two recent WRC Champs) edition of GR Yaris with a little bit of tuning on the transmission side.
They couldn’t test regular Circuit edition because it was broken. And they couldn’t get any better Yaris from Mexico. Rather unfortunate but still better then not having either of the cars for the video.
@@strght6 I took it more of ‘describing differences’ so we can understand the results. To many people just think these types of videos are comparisons but it’s very difficult to near impossible to get ‘the same cars’. Even many racing classes with all their rules still fail to get ‘exactly even cars’.
I have never seen such an enjoyable car video... The script, the camera angles, the music, the editing, and last but not least, the cars are fantastic. Hagerty needs a huge raise, HUGE!!!! ❤
I’m a huge GR fan (mkv Supra owner) and have always loved hot hatches. This is one of the best videos you guys have ever done, and one of my favorite car test videos on YT… Great job!
I can't imagine life without these videos now. Please, please never stop doing this. But if I'm honest, I could wish for 1 thing. Shod all the cars with the same Cup2 tires at the end and show us how they perform with the playing field leveled.
As someone new to the world of cars, this was like a beautiful documentary. While learning historical contexts, progression in products and the story while also finally discussing & reviewing the current cars. Very informative as a whole. I really hope this video wasn't the peak and there are more videos like this from this or other channels. If not, its gonna be a long learning process.
Nearly as good as peak top gear. They had better music and scripted but funnier jokes and accidents but this is just simply the best automotive show these years. Great job and never stop Camisa!
I never understood why people still hang on to old top gear. One day soon I hope people can enjoy car content like this without people ALWAYS comparing it to top gear. Let’s move on now please
@@PigglyWigglyDeluxe I know, right. This comparison gets so stale. Every car youtube channel you go to, some guy in the comment section has to compare with Top Gear. Almost a meme by now. Same as every content creator seems to be the Bob Ross of whatever genre he/she is presenting on.
Yeah, Motor Trend is a horridly lame rag with an agenda. I let my subscription lapse because even at $14 per year, it was a complete waste of money. Hagerty insurance is worth it just for their magazine, which is heads above all the other car mags except Classic and Sports Car, which here in the US, is about 8 times the price of Motor Trend, and still worth every penny. Jason Cammisa and Pobst are awesome, and Jason's great with Derek on the Carmudgeon Show.
MAN...these videos with Jason are on a whole other level...soooo well edited and produced...SOOOOO fun to watch and SOOOO informative...I LOVE THIS MAN and his talent in being a great car show man...👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hagerty, I can only tell you THANK YOU, for when the clip starts at 3:16 you brough me back 25 years ago when I first sat in an Integrale and drove it around a track near my hometown....that was an outer worldly experience
Hands down, the best produced car video I've watched on TH-cam, goose bumps throughout the whole video and just made me wanna drive one of these so bad. Congratulations to the whole team 🤩
You guys are absolutely nailing the way you present and edit these videos. I am a car guy so of course I enjoyed every sec of it but anyone who’s not into cars would also find these videos very entertaining. Not to mention bring gr yaris to compete with gr Corolla continents away is probably the first. Adding type r golf r with history of rally lancia icing after icing on the cake. Just brilliant
Another stunning production. Incredible to see the Delta keeping up (after being breathed on) with latest & greatest. Only wish they had been on control tires!
Christian von Koenigsegg might have a small quibble with that "most powerful 3 cylinder engine the world has ever seen" thing! I love you, Jason Cammisa. These videos are the absolute best of car journalism available. (Tied with Throttle House! ) Thanks to all the incredibly talented people involved in making all the incredible content that Hagerty is giving us.
1. Koenigsegg Gemera didn't even go into production. 2. It's a very expansive very limited production hypercar. 3. That engine is a 2.0L and has that power on E85. *There is also a 500+ hp GR Yaris in Australia from Motive Video channel with stock internals and running on gas and they beat the sht out of it on drag strip and the engine was fine LoL )))
The hands down best motoring journo of our times... nobody gets close to JC (not Clarkson)... Motoring history, passion, truly oustanding. In a million years I never expected an American to take this title but props where they're due. Consistent highest of high quality. And Im talking vs Chris Harris (contender for top dog), Catchpole, Bovington, May etc etc... Camissa just delivers depth no others get close to with so much excitememt and passion.
The much more common circuit pack GR probably would’ve been much closer or even beat the Corolla (especially if tested with the same tyres), would be good to see a like-for-like comparison to get a better idea. Great video nonetheless!
Yeah I just wrote this aswell. Like get the circuit pack like most of Europe has done and let's see the comparison again. I would imagine it would be as fast as the GR Corolla
yeah the tires are on of THE most important things on a track by a long shot. first thing that should immediately modded by anybody wanting to drive fast. and the LSDs would surely ad their part too... still glad they could even get one.
Finally, Randy takes on my beloved GR Yaris. This and the Lancia are my absolute all time favourites. But I am a rally fanatic. Get the GR Corolla Circuit version and go crazy tuning it. Make a rally special out of it. Just like you can do with the little Yaris.
great video as always but as a GRY owner I don't think it's a fair comparison for you to not use the same tires as the corolla on the Yaris. That makes such a huge difference. You could have swapped on the same tires and did a separate comparison, showing both the stock and a upgraded(not really) performance.
Not to mention it's the same pace as the corolla with less power... on the same motor. We all know what that means when it comes to tune time. It would have been interesting to see just how much the weight really matters when it has same diff, same brakes, same power. It's probably barely anything and the corolla can stand on it's own by being more practical by being slower around a track by 0.5s or whatever it would actually be.
Love your work gents as always, if it was the GR. Yaris circuit pack or rally as it's named in Australia, it would have been as quick if not quicker than the Honda and better than the Corolla because of the weight and same system, I've been lucky enough to drive the standard one and I own the circuit pack and it's a lot quicker, sorry you lot don't get it over there but really happy that you do get the Corolla, Keep safe and keep sliding 👏👏
That production value is… 💯💯💯🏆. 1. Did you like order rainstorm from the gods? 2. That rolling gimbal shots moving parallel and opposite! 3. Complex storyboard and scripting! 4. Sound design and cinematography is hollywood level!
Interesting comparison, albeit with the ‘wrong’ version of the GR Yaris. In the UK, most are the Circuit Pack, which is fitted with the Torsen LSDs, circuit suspension, lightweight BBS alloys and PS4S tyres. That would’ve been a much better match to test against this GR Corolla. If you can get hold of one in the US, then the result should be very close. A re-match is definitely needed!
In Australia, we have the JDM spec GR, which has slightly higher spec and output. We also have just started to see the Morizo edition hit our shores. I'm sure there will be a real comparison against these two cars. My guess is that the Yaris will be quicker.
Give these guys & production team the trophy already. The storylines, comparison, editing and filmmaking are just the most entertaining automotive entertainment on streaming today. These is no better programming for car enthusiasts.
Another AMAZING episode! Long live the hot hatch! I already own a Type R and I hope to add a GR Corolla Circuit Edition to the stable. We have some amazing cars out there right now and I am determined to get what I can before they are gone. Keep up the great work!
@@NERGYStudios Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't have the GR Corolla yet. I was able to get my Type R at MSRP but sadly it looks like getting a GR Corolla at MSRP let alone ever finding one is going to be a challenge but well with it. For me, these are forever cars so I am willing to play the long game if I have too.
@@mappies123 Thanks, man. It was definitely a blessing I don't take for granted which is one of the reasons why I pulled the trigger and found a way to get it. As more and more EVs are pushed down our throats, I believe these amazing 6-speed manual hot hatches are just going to age like a fine wine.
@@malcolmar big cheers mate. Hope you can get one without your hand being ripped off pretty soon! I bet I'd probably never get to drive one, but I'm so glad they exist (specially the GR duo), and I'm really happy for people who buy them and put them for good use!
What an amazing documentary and a great tribute to the Hot hatch, my eyes were glued from start to finish. Gives me very old Top Gear documentary vibes. Keep up the good work Hagerty!

100% Agree
The very fact that the corolla is the fancy 'Morizo' edition with no back seats is still slower than the FWD Type R around a track just goes to show what engineering skills Honda has..and by the way , hats of to the Hagerty team for a top notch video...reminded me of the old UK Top gear days
Just goes to show how much SH-AWD on an Integra Type-S would make it wipe the floor with its competition.
@@AEsmondeProductions hmm it may be abit heavier with all the luxuries but it will be interesting to see the outcome
Imagine if it was 4 cylinder 😮!
Yes... also would have been interesting to see a DCT Golf R with comparably sticky tires on it for the track time leaderboard.
And yet having driven a FWD Honda with lots of diesel torque, I would take AWD any day of the week. In fact, I wont be buying a Honda again, unless it is from the upper segment like the Accord.
Watched the whole thing without skipping any frames - its like a film rather than a vlog. Beautiful storytelling, insane cinematography & perfect editing.
There’s only one very minor details at 17:00 that I found typo on GR Corolla’s lap time.
Cheers! Please continue making this legendary stuff!
If you have captions it mentions that :)
Yes, and PLEASE keep up the wide cinematic aspect ratio! Looks fantastic filling up my whole ultrawide monitor or phone :)
I don't even know how to start this but let me be grateful for the hardwork and passion everyone involved in this project have. I've been a racing fan and car enthusiast since I was a child in the early 90's watching Senna on his F1 on sundays, and since then, even though I kept track of cars and motorsports, only after finding this channel I can say that I had this smile on my face watching this content, that same smile that I had when I was a child, with pure awe, the same one that only real passion can evoke, and for that I thank you, every single one of you that made this possible.
As a Spaniard,I almost drop a tear of joy when i saw Carlos Sainz Sr podium in this AMAZING video.Camissa,you are killing it!(and the whole team that produce this magnificent pieces of automotive art)
aren't you a spanish?
spanish aren't proud of spaniard talking their language around the world.
Of course I'm proud of the number of people who talks spanish around the world.But I'm trying(my english is really bad) to write in english in case of the people that made this videos see this comment and let them known that they are doing a fantastic job.
@@jesusredondobarrena6247 la diferencia es español contrario a hispano
Didnt Carlos Sainz win with a Celica in 1990 and 92, I dont understand what's being talked about at 3:40
Is it another category?
You're proud of someone else's achievements based on both beingborn in the same country? One of my favourite comedians said this. "Nationalism does nothing but teach you to hate people you never met, and to take pride in accomplishments you had no part in". Enjoy your pride 😂
Have a good day though. 👍
The editor, shot director, and the director deserves all the applause. You know what just give all the team applause. Such a great quality video
I've had my GRC Core for about three months now, and I have to say, it's the happiest I've ever been with a daily driver. It's pretty much the perfect "good in every climate/season, fun on the weekends, decent enough city driving during the week" car. Toyota did a really great job.
I picked up my is500 about 4 weeks ago now, I love it, but when I got to the dealer to pick it up there was a GR Corolla parked next to it getting delivered the same day, I was a bit jealous.
Why the hell was a Lexus dealer selling a GR Corolla?
@@svang1991 I mean there's usually a lot of stray/random cars at dealerships. And given how premium of a product the GR Corolla is I think it makes sense that it was getting delivered at a Lexus dealership.
@@85CEKR I get it! I daily a significantly modded Chevy SS and I really want a GR Corolla to move to daily driver status. Something about the little car that's faster than it should be.

Jason you are the man. It is quite refreshing to see an American automotive journalist who is better than their British counterparts. Excellent job buddy!
I don't normally comment, but this video was so good, i have to commend you guys on the continued effort to produce world class videos. Amazing job guys...
As a GRY Performance pack owner since 2021 and having seen all videos on YT, this is by far the most entertaining and best quality. The Lancia was the cherry on the cake! The non performance GRY being so close to the GRC Morizo means that the perf pack one would probably beat it (especially with Cup2 tires).
as a USA viewer, i really hope you give your yaris as much love and cherish you can for all of us over here that would have loved a 3 door hottest hatch version.
Now what if you added those Cup 2s to the CTR…
@@eloneatmyshorts Their CTR probably had Cup 2s on it. It's an option in the US.
5.4 seconds is not close but I agree on the point. Performance Yaris is much quicker and with Cup2s it would be on par with Morizo.
@@eloneatmyshorts what if the Morizo had 265 wide Cup 2 tires like the CTR?
It feels like a movie, what an amazing video. Congratulations mr Jason, keep bringing us amazing content!
No kidding, right? Someone give Esposito, Pobst and Cammisa a proper script and let them show the Fast and Furious guys how actual driving can be exciting as hell.
Multi million $ idea. Hopefully they read our comments
The delta integrale is just a timeless classic. Thinking of rallycars and raaly games you think about the delta, the did a really good job back in the day.
Like comparisons in other countries it’s hard to compare apples with apples due to the huge differences in tyre ability. The circuit pack GR Yaris comes with pilot sport 4S tyres that make a huge difference on their own. I know they can only test what they have but, I’d love to see this test again with everything on the same rubber. Great video and very enjoyable to watch.
Yeah. I see no reason why the circuit pack GR Yaris should be any slower than the Corolla. It got a little less power but its also lighter.
Seems like a no-brainer... If you want to compare the cars isolate the variables as much as you can.
Comparison with different tires does not give us the most useful information possible.
Yeah and most importantly , limited-slip differentials front and rear, along with lighter wheels and slightly hard suspension. Not just tyres….
I rarely comment, but this is truly a masterpiece. Jason and his team have truly captured the ethos of Toyota’s GR dream through stunning videography and Cammisa’s in-depth analysis. I have watched a lot of car videos on TH-cam, but few if any truly top this one; keep up the good work.
Thank you!
@@JasonCammisa Thank you Jason for your passion for cars.
Lancia Delta Integrale is my favourite hot hatch of all time, can't get enough of it
Its a great car but can someone explain how it won wrc 6 times in a row?? 3:42 Didnt Carlos Sainz senior won in a toyota celica in 1990 and 92?
@@shivamarya5225 In 1990 Sainz won driver championship. Lancia won manufacturer champioship
@@shivamarya5225 that's true but lancia still won manufacturers albeit with 3 teams and a lot more entries to drive the integrales than toyota had with celicas
favorite**** and he thing is junk
It will always be la regina
What a superb story-telling. This is what quality content looks like. It entertains me while it educates me about the history and how it relates to today's hot-hatch icon. Keep up the good work!
Fun fact - the team of engineers responsible for the Delta, in 1992 was moved to work on Alfa 155 DTM, which won the first year it went against new competitors. Than they worked on the Alfa Romeo 156. The 156 uses the same rear suspension as the Delta (only the Q4 version of 155 used something similar while other 155 models were just Fiat Tempras) but also a double wishbone fron suspension. So the closest you can get to a Delta Integrale but on the cheap, is Alfa 156 Crosswagon Q4. It also uses very similar 4 wheel drive system but has a 150 hp Alfa JTD diesel that can eat additional power like no other
Every time cammisa drops a video, It is an instant watch. Well appreciated hagerty team and jason. Great content, directing and editing.
Edit: Forgot the script, Amazing !
i just comment about that too. people notice how pro's this is. its like watching a movie where the scene is so good you dont realized all the angle they shoot at
how in the heck can you guys keep pumping out masterpiece after masterpiece like this? Amazing job with the scripting, editing, sound design, shot framing, etc etc. A treat for the eyes and ears
I love the way these videos are choreographed. Jason and Randy are amazing!!
This was a masterpiece. Seriously. Take a bow, all. This channel and this team just keeps getting better and better. Well done!
The GR Yaris (circuit pack) should be the one compared to the GRC Morizo - no point comparing the base model GRY IMO
Definitely not a fair comparison ! Totally agree with you
The problem is the tires , the corolla are using michelin pilot sport 4s , and the yaris base model are using the dunlop
@@SNZRACINGTEAM not just the tyres, the LSD's are missing. CP Yaris will destroy Corolla.
The fact that the CTR almost tied the 458 is just inconceivable
Everyone hates to announce one of the best automakers in business, Honda. The pinnacle of racing is F1 and Honda is always holding the crown of F1. Not even Porsche, McLaren, BMW, Lambos, etc dear claim the title. They all are trying to knock Honda off the thrown in F1. This is why I always find if funny how people say Honda can't make good cars. They just make cars trying to fit into the segment. Even if they released exotic super cars that are great, people still have an issue with them because it has a Honda badge.
@@wanglee21 I want to like Honda so bad but they need something beyond just the Civic Si/TR. Give me a ITS with SH-AWD and/or a DCT and I'll order one yesterday!
@@mattlittlej I totally agree. I'm a Subaru fanboy for over 12yrs now because of the practicality of its AWD.
Yea but FR sucks and most don't track. FR Wheel hopping annoying as fug, it turns corners surprisingly well but... it feels dirty.....I prefer AWD all day. I can say this because I own 21' CTR and 21' STI. If CTR had STI's awd and the rumbles...man that would be perfecto!!!
Maybe you forget Honda have F1 engine with red bull and they are leader in F1
This feels like an old Top Gear episode. Bravo to you all for making this on youtube of all places.
PLEASE do not ever stop making these videos Jason and Randy. Exceptionally delivered, very informative and some LOL's...I can not wait for the next one... Give them both a massive increase!!!
Suck them off already
Hey guys.. the data on the Icons leaderboard stated that the corolla morizo should be in third. The time for the corolla is 1:22:09 which is quicker than the civic…
Check earlier I think there it says 1:22.94.
The 1.22.09 seems to be a typo. Very unusual for them to make such a mistake
They swapped in the time for the Supra GR 😅
If you watch the video with subtitles (you should, as there are funny bits added to them), it acknowledges the typo on the Morizo's time.
What is there to say... Great Cars, Great Drivers, Great story telling. It's just greatness overload whenever Hagerty gets Mr. Cammisa and Mr. Pobst have fun with the cars. Just when we think we've seen the best episode, they outdo themselves on the next! THANK YOU HAGERTY TEAM!
I dearly missed these VS. The editing is top tier and your narration, makes me want to listen to you in slow mo. Hats off!
I had NO idea how insane those lancias sounded Christ what a machine
They were considered the fastest point-to-point car in the world back in the day
Imo the best sounding 4 cylinder
It's not stock.
It' s far from stock and pushed via Rally crosscutting editing to a not normal exhaust sounding. This engine normally is far from sound like a race engine.
@@playtimehulot7383 Classics Italian four cylinders used to sound very good. The FIAT 125 with the DOHC engine sounds great.
The Yaris GR is the most sensational car I've ever driven. And I have owned a Porsche 997 GTS and currently drive an M2 Competition. I rented the little Yaris for a weekend and it was more fun than those two combined, for less than half the money...
Haha! Yeah ok.
These clowns used the base GRY. Must have been trying to make the car look bad.
@@jeanblue-v1m bc they dont get to have it！XD
@@jeanblue-v1m didn't even use the same tires...

Man, what you are doing is untouchable at the moment. You’re getting everything together. Science, knowledge, editing, production, fun, character, charm. Aiming high 🔥
Hagerty is the best car channel on youtube at the moment by far.
I used to favour Savage Geese.
They had such a good musical sting.
Very intelligent commentary too but Hagerty are so much broader and more professional now.
Top Job.
Luv and Peace.
I’ve drooled on cars before but the GR Corolla is legitimately my dream car. I couldn’t ever possibly want anything more. So awesome.
Another mind-blowingly entertaining AND informative film by the Camissa / Esposito dream team. Loved the historical timeline... (and that you guys assemble all the cars that are part of the story, no matter how small a part they play.)
Thank you! Keep watching and we’ll keep making more!
i dont usually comment but that intro was extremely well shot. well done guys!
The times the Corolla and the Civic put down are absolutely mindblowing when compared to the Ferrari. Who would've thought this was possible several years ago. Also, appreciate how much time was dedicated in the video just for getting the cars sideways!
I think you need to try the Yaris with the proper diffs and Cup tyres. There’ll be a big difference in its lap time!
Even the new 2024 Auto DAT version with 300bhp and added extras 👌
@timwattison4419 even with the new gr corolla coming out next year the power will only equal the mk2 gr yaris. Same power from both cars, gr yaris all the way. Can't beat weight
The Civic Type R got even better when you thought it couldn't. The Ring Time it just set, and now this is just astonishing.
These Hagerty comparo tests with Cammisa and Pobst are solid gold. Their crew is amazing and the video footage is outstanding. I wish they did more, but i know so much work is involved in making a 20 minute video. Thanks guys.
I'm from Germany and my brother drives and own a GR Yaris with the Performance package.
The car is impassable and not fast at the track without the locking differentials in the front and rear. The Performance package modell has the locking differentials in front and rear, stronger brakes, brake cooling and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. With this set up on the track, it's just as fast as the GR Corolla.
Thank you to all of the team for the great video! We all must celebrate these kind of cars. I drive a Subaru BRZ from 2017, my brother the GR Yaris.
Let‘s hope that we will get more cars like these in the future😎
Jason is an entertaining automotive genius, so much fun and information, i can't miss any of his episodes
You've outdone yourselves here, Jason + team. The storytelling, the driving, the sheer cinematic quality of this video - let's not forget this is "only" a YouTuve video. Please keep on making these, you're definitely one of the best channels on here.
Awesome video. Should have tested the GR Yaris with the Circuit Pack though, it´s a different beast with three torsen differentials compared to the one with the open differentials you reviewed. Also has forged wheels and better brakes.
Really wish we got the GRY in the US, they’re so cool
sure, but i think they were happy to get atleast a single on e to test there in the US :D
Thimk the same . And the stiffer suspension too. Brakes are the same in both, only change the color of the calipers, thats the only difference
Yeah, with the full rally diffs and stickier tyres the full fat Yaris would have kept up with the Corolla easily. And tuning the engine to get more power is a much easier option than trying cut weight from the Corolla.
But as the US don't get the Yaris, let them think the Corolla's better! 😅
Totally agree with you Antonio. From the tests I saw, the difference between the GRY with and without the Circuit Pack is so huge. With the Circuit Pack (I have two of them in my garage) it's really an ultimate rally car adapted to the road, and it's actually the base for the GRY Rally2. It would have won the comparison hands down, no doubt about it
As an Italian I can only say thank you for the amazing tribute to our beloved Deltona. That said, Toyota is making some crazy sports cars (and not just sports ones), but the new Civic Type R is also great, in fact you demonstrated it frame after frame in a fantastic way. However, I'm still too much in love with my Giulia Veloce to sell it and switch to a Civc Type R.
I just love Jason’s enthusiasm…and lovely sense of humor. Please lay more knowledge on us, Jason
Good video, but maybe not fair to compare the Morizo Corolla to the base GR Yaris. In Japan you can buy more extreme versions of the Yaris, which would have been a better comparison. Still, it's great that Toyota are actually producing interesting cars again.
They recently even made a Sebastian Ogier & Kalle Rovanpera (their two recent WRC Champs) edition of GR Yaris with a little bit of tuning on the transmission side.
near the end Jason says this is NOT a comparison test
They couldn’t test regular Circuit edition because it was broken. And they couldn’t get any better Yaris from Mexico. Rather unfortunate but still better then not having either of the cars for the video.
@@brownwhale5518 that's true, but he also compared them in many different ways 😆
@@strght6
I took it more of ‘describing differences’ so we can understand the results.
To many people just think these types of videos are comparisons but it’s very difficult to near impossible to get ‘the same cars’. Even many racing classes with all their rules still fail to get ‘exactly even cars’.
Good Lord, Hagerty's content with Jason at the helm just keep getting better and better.
Per usual Jason delivers yet another masterpiece
Hands down the best car related content on TH-cam. Fantastic video loved every minute of it!
I have never seen such an enjoyable car video... The script, the camera angles, the music, the editing, and last but not least, the cars are fantastic. Hagerty needs a huge raise, HUGE!!!! ❤
I’m a huge GR fan (mkv Supra owner) and have always loved hot hatches. This is one of the best videos you guys have ever done, and one of my favorite car test videos on YT… Great job!
I can't imagine life without these videos now. Please, please never stop doing this. But if I'm honest, I could wish for 1 thing. Shod all the cars with the same Cup2 tires at the end and show us how they perform with the playing field leveled.
As someone new to the world of cars, this was like a beautiful documentary. While learning historical contexts, progression in products and the story while also finally discussing & reviewing the current cars.
Very informative as a whole. I really hope this video wasn't the peak and there are more videos like this from this or other channels.
If not, its gonna be a long learning process.
Nearly as good as peak top gear. They had better music and scripted but funnier jokes and accidents but this is just simply the best automotive show these years. Great job and never stop Camisa!
These years are turning in to years.
I never understood why people still hang on to old top gear. One day soon I hope people can enjoy car content like this without people ALWAYS comparing it to top gear. Let’s move on now please
@@PigglyWigglyDeluxe I know, right. This comparison gets so stale. Every car youtube channel you go to, some guy in the comment section has to compare with Top Gear. Almost a meme by now. Same as every content creator seems to be the Bob Ross of whatever genre he/she is presenting on.
No, it's actually better, they have a laugh but review the cars, it needs a TV show 😮
Bringing back those motor-trend memories before it went down the drain. The Jason and Randy duo never disappoints.
Yeah, Motor Trend is a horridly lame rag with an agenda. I let my subscription lapse because even at $14 per year, it was a complete waste of money.
Hagerty insurance is worth it just for their magazine, which is heads above all the other car mags except Classic and Sports Car, which here in the US, is about 8 times the price of Motor Trend, and still worth every penny.
Jason Cammisa and Pobst are awesome, and Jason's great with Derek on the Carmudgeon Show.
@@Sangamo16 wow I didn’t even know they had a magazine just for policy holders.
MAN...these videos with Jason are on a whole other level...soooo well edited and produced...SOOOOO fun to watch and SOOOO informative...I LOVE THIS MAN and his talent in being a great car show man...👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hagerty, I can only tell you THANK YOU, for when the clip starts at 3:16 you brough me back 25 years ago when I first sat in an Integrale and drove it around a track near my hometown....that was an outer worldly experience
You just demonstrated why about 1% of UK buyers (who I assume where a bit confused) opted for the less capable non circuit pack car.
Any video that Cammisa has his hands in, keeps me on the edge of my seat like it's the most exciting movie I've ever seen. Legend!
I absolutely agree
On the topic of rally and the WRC...
Rest in Peace Craig Breen 1990-2023.
This GR episode, and the Icons Z episode have been incredible.
Hands down, the best produced car video I've watched on TH-cam, goose bumps throughout the whole video and just made me wanna drive one of these so bad. Congratulations to the whole team 🤩
You guys are absolutely nailing the way you present and edit these videos. I am a car guy so of course I enjoyed every sec of it but anyone who’s not into cars would also find these videos very entertaining. Not to mention bring gr yaris to compete with gr Corolla continents away is probably the first. Adding type r golf r with history of rally lancia icing after icing on the cake. Just brilliant
This is just a fantastic series! Please keep this up. Well done, and the production quality is 🔥
The Corolla was so fast it can even take you in a different timeline! It's sunny outside, but inside you can see raining! Awesome!
Another stunning production. Incredible to see the Delta keeping up (after being breathed on) with latest & greatest. Only wish they had been on control tires!
3:17 What a shot! Hats of to the drone operator
Christian von Koenigsegg might have a small quibble with that "most powerful 3 cylinder engine the world has ever seen" thing!
I love you, Jason Cammisa. These videos are the absolute best of car journalism available. (Tied with Throttle House! )
Thanks to all the incredibly talented people involved in making all the incredible content that Hagerty is giving us.
The 600hp 3 cilinder of the Koenigsegg Gemera
1. Koenigsegg Gemera didn't even go into production.
2. It's a very expansive very limited production hypercar.
3. That engine is a 2.0L and has that power on E85.
*There is also a 500+ hp GR Yaris in Australia from Motive Video channel with stock internals and running on gas and they beat the sht out of it on drag strip and the engine was fine LoL )))
The hands down best motoring journo of our times... nobody gets close to JC (not Clarkson)... Motoring history, passion, truly oustanding.
In a million years I never expected an American to take this title but props where they're due.
Consistent highest of high quality.
And Im talking vs Chris Harris (contender for top dog), Catchpole, Bovington, May etc etc... Camissa just delivers depth no others get close to with so much excitememt and passion.
When I think these videos can’t get any better, you prove me wrong. Amazingly good, informative and fun at the same time. Hats off to all the team!
This is the best Icons video to date, I am so impressed at the story-telling, production value, and humor. Please keep making these incredible videos!
The much more common circuit pack GR probably would’ve been much closer or even beat the Corolla (especially if tested with the same tyres), would be good to see a like-for-like comparison to get a better idea. Great video nonetheless!
Yeah I just wrote this aswell. Like get the circuit pack like most of Europe has done and let's see the comparison again. I would imagine it would be as fast as the GR Corolla
Suspension on standard Yaris is too soft
@@christmasisawesome9348 Yeah, and it has shitty tires on aswell and no limited-slip diffs. This comparison is just unfair
yeah the tires are on of THE most important things on a track by a long shot. first thing that should immediately modded by anybody wanting to drive fast. and the LSDs would surely ad their part too... still glad they could even get one.
@Nishan113 I can't believe Hagerty messed this up given that they are one of the best car content producer out there.
When Camissa's on, I gots to watch. This is better than the classic Top Gear.
Finally, Randy takes on my beloved GR Yaris. This and the Lancia are my absolute all time favourites. But I am a rally fanatic. Get the GR Corolla Circuit version and go crazy tuning it. Make a rally special out of it. Just like you can do with the little Yaris.
That slow-mo Golf R drift shot was HOT
great video as always but as a GRY owner I don't think it's a fair comparison for you to not use the same tires as the corolla on the Yaris. That makes such a huge difference. You could have swapped on the same tires and did a separate comparison, showing both the stock and a upgraded(not really) performance.
As a fellow GR Yaris owner I agree! This wasn't a fair comparison
It's not even a circuit/performance pack model. 9 out of 10 GRYs on the road are performance models and they somehow found one without it...
Not to mention it's the same pace as the corolla with less power... on the same motor. We all know what that means when it comes to tune time. It would have been interesting to see just how much the weight really matters when it has same diff, same brakes, same power. It's probably barely anything and the corolla can stand on it's own by being more practical by being slower around a track by 0.5s or whatever it would actually be.
He uses the stock tires, however it would have been better to use the model with the LSD
Absolutely art! This is my favorite episode! I really feel like someone actually hired the perfect crew. Thank you for this!
Yes! Cars people can sorta afford! Also, Gazoo Racing is just fun to say.
Dealer Mark ups: "ArE yOu sUrE aBoUt dAt?"
It's sound Kinda stupid honestly...... Sounds like baby talk......
Lmao 60k for a corolla
Love your work gents as always, if it was the GR. Yaris circuit pack or rally as it's named in Australia, it would have been as quick if not quicker than the Honda and better than the Corolla because of the weight and same system, I've been lucky enough to drive the standard one and I own the circuit pack and it's a lot quicker, sorry you lot don't get it over there but really happy that you do get the Corolla, Keep safe and keep sliding 👏👏
Boy these videos are simply getting better by the day. What story telling and what editing… simply amazing 🎉
That production value is… 💯💯💯🏆. 1. Did you like order rainstorm from the gods?
2. That rolling gimbal shots moving parallel and opposite!
3. Complex storyboard and scripting!
4. Sound design and cinematography is hollywood level!
Truly one of Hagerty’s best episode! That aside though, super grateful to be living through Toyota’s sporting renaissance
Interesting comparison, albeit with the ‘wrong’ version of the GR Yaris. In the UK, most are the Circuit Pack, which is fitted with the Torsen LSDs, circuit suspension, lightweight BBS alloys and PS4S tyres. That would’ve been a much better match to test against this GR Corolla. If you can get hold of one in the US, then the result should be very close. A re-match is definitely needed!
In Australia, we have the JDM spec GR, which has slightly higher spec and output. We also have just started to see the Morizo edition hit our shores. I'm sure there will be a real comparison against these two cars. My guess is that the Yaris will be quicker.
maybe, because the yaris its not avaible in USA market, so they pick the slower one to make the corolla more attractive
Goosebumps all the way through the vid! Excellent work Hagerty bringing out the best car content on the platform!
X2 here
Give these guys & production team the trophy already. The storylines, comparison, editing and filmmaking are just the most entertaining automotive entertainment on streaming today. These is no better programming for car enthusiasts.
Everytime I watch a video from you guys, I just don't want them to end. What an amazing video like always!
Another AMAZING episode! Long live the hot hatch! I already own a Type R and I hope to add a GR Corolla Circuit Edition to the stable. We have some amazing cars out there right now and I am determined to get what I can before they are gone. Keep up the great work!

@@malcolmar big cheers mate. Hope you can get one without your hand being ripped off pretty soon! I bet I'd probably never get to drive one, but I'm so glad they exist (specially the GR duo), and I'm really happy for people who buy them and put them for good use!
What an amazing documentary and a great tribute to the Hot hatch, my eyes were glued from start to finish. Gives me very old Top Gear documentary vibes. Keep up the good work Hagerty!
The production quality and effort put into this masterpiece is just something else...had me mistake a 25 min video for 4-5
