Toyota will produce approximately 6,500 units in the first model year.
According to reports, the Toyota GR Corolla has been a huge success. The hot hatch is so popular that the company has asked dealers to not take too many orders. Jack Hollis (senior vice president of automotive operations at Toyota Motor North America) stated that “We have places right currently, and parts of this country where so many orders are being taken, we must stop.”
Road and Track .Motor1.com asked Toyota for information about the regions that have the greatest demand for the /GR Corolla.
