One of the most spectacular hot hatches released in recent years, the GR Yaris is the first performance model to be developed from the ground up by Toyota in the last twenty-some years. Die-hard fans of the Japanese brand might be frustrated that all that effort was put into a Yaris and not a Supra, but even they can agree that this little monster is the ultimate pocket rocket.
