When Toyota rolled out the GR Corolla two years ago it did a lot to change the image of a compact model long known for its plain vanilla styling and lackluster styling.

Toyota’s got some welcome news for fans of the hot hatch GR Corolla. What’s in store? You just might want to check back with Headlight.News on Friday morning to find out more.
