    Toyota GR Yaris Could Be Offered With 8-Speed Auto

    There seem to be some minor tweaks upfront.

    The Toyota GR Yaris has been an absolute smash hit and that is in most part because it can hold its own against meaner more powerful opposition but also because of the purist focus.

    Three pedals six-speed ‘stick shift’ has attracted thousands of buyers but maybe there are some who want the convenience of an automatic box. We have good news for you as Toyota is currently developing an 8-speed slushbox for the GR Yaris, and it has already made a public appearance at the Toyota Gazoo Rally Racing Challenge held recently in Japan.

    Car Watch from Japan saw the car for themselves and snapped a few shots including the one above and below and there seem to be some minor tweaks upfront to allow additional airflow to the auto gearbox oil cooler.

    The gearbox is a conventional torque converter automatic but if you want to ‘change gears yourself’, there is a manual mode with the addition of paddles shifters behind the steering wheel.

    Toyota has said this is not to improve fuel efficiency but rather give drivers sporty quicker drives.

    Despite being in development, this isn’t a confirmation that the production model will get the AT gearbox.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
