    Well the whole idea of developing a car for just one season was a bit crazy in the first place. Yet Hyundai did the same in 2016. So question is what Hyundai does now, the i20 was supposed to get model change this year so how will they avoid running the old-looking car next year?

    They might as well postpone the new i20 also, something quite common in every area this year. The sale of new cars came down 75% at one point and the financial situation getting worse, i wouldn`t be surprised if the lots are already full of new current i20s they need to try and sell first (and a good way to do that is to showcase the current i20 WRC/ R5).

    Toyota has 6000 orders for the 4wd GR Yaris 'homologation special' road car. Now it turns out they needn't have bothered making one.

    The car could become a valuable collectors item if they dont make any more, as 2021 homologation now isnt required.

    So Tommi confrims, that the necessary amount of homologation special is 2500, though he is now not sure Toyota will ever build even that many? Interesting, with 6k pre-orders.

    GR Yaris RS ... same body but fwd & 118 bhp !!

    Meet 2020’s weirdest hot hatch: the 118bhp Toyota GR Yaris RS:
    https://www.topgear.com/car-news/hot...ta-gr-yaris-rs

    I think this explains the 2500 figure for homologation of the GR Yaris. This lower-powered RS version (but with the same wide body) would be the 'base car' which they would need to sell 25,000 of.

    I wrote it on 11.03, this thread. As a rumour at that point, true.
