How is Toyota only charging this much?
at $50,995. Okay, so those last two prices seem a little rich, especially for a Corolla, but put things in context: This is a 300-hp, all-wheel-drive, manual-transmission performance car.Every GR Corolla allows drivers to adjust the fore-aft torque split of the AWD system, from 60-percent front, 40-percent rear to 50/50 and even 70/30—as in, it goes rear-biased!

To that end, even a loaded Core for just under $40,000—barring any dealer markups, of course—seems like the way to go. Even though it's nearly double the price of the cheapest Corolla you could buy today, it's downright affordable for what it is. It also puts the figurative heat on Honda, which is
