So which is it?

And how much of a joke was it that the public were only able to watch three sh!tty live Facebook broadcasts of the launch..?!?!???!!!! Poor effort by Toyota, really.

We know you don´t like 'em. The rest of us enjoy bigger competition coming years.

It was said officially already some time a go that Toyota would have third car available only in April or so. Lappi signed before VW announced their end in WRC and became simply a victim of the situation. Now he has to wait.

I'm surprising myself but I quite like the final look of the Yaris.

The rear wing is a monster

Good news for finnish rallyfans like me. Mostly I like Lappis contract. He has now time to test car before third car is ready somepoint of spring. I am expecting much for him. But honestly I have to wear off my "finnish eyeglasses" Yaris is far from ready. Engine looks ok but suspension is big?? Latvala said today in Helsinki that he expecting to get podiums later of a season. lets see. This is still good news if thinking about WRC. New era of rallying is starting soon. Last time I am excited like this was in early 90`:)

The car looks fine until you get to the rear wing.

What happened with Suninen?

+1. The aero work seems outstanding and by Latvala’s pace on the last video I wonder if they won’t start fighting for rally wins sooner than expected…good job TGR and best luck on this WRC return!

Yes I agree it looks better than expected, especially the front with more detailed aero etc. The rear just looks brutal, which kinda makes it look fine.
