We weren"t expecting this. Toyota"s GRMN product line is already surprising thanks to its European launch product being an Elise-engined, rally-inspired Yaris but the latest car to wear the clunky badging is this Mark X saloon. If you"re unaware of the Mark X"s existence, it"s an overwhelmingly sensible saloon car that provides transport in a handful of Asian markets, chiefly Toyota"s Japanese homeland. The GRMN treatment, however, ought to prick up the ears of anyone who misses cars like the E46 BMW M3. For this is a saloon car with a naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. It"s everything the purists are craving as the world goes turbocharged and paddleshifted. Look! There"s even a proper handbrake!
