    Has anyone else seen this website? GR SPORT PRIUS PHV | TOYOTA GAZOO Racing

    By the way, the Prime is known as the PHV in the rest of the world. Anyway, I went through the configuration process and came up with these pics:

    I just got a fifth anniversary email from my salesman for my 2013 Plug-in (see below), and my question to him was, can he get me a GR Prime? He's working on it, but I'm not holding my breath.

    One of the Kazoo links said Japan only. It would be too much red tape to import one.

    No worries. We're glad it's generating excitement.

    Like @Prodigyplace said, for now, it's only available in Japan but they are plans to expand outside of Japan. We don't know which countries but we hope the US and parts of the EU are included in those plans. Canada might not get it as our car buying population is tiny but we can always import from the US.

    Your country is a little slow. You are just now getting the Mirai so you too can ridicule it. :LOL::ROFLMAO:

    Toyota Canada is really hard to get interested in anything that smacks of possible excitement. I couldn't get them interested in this

    or even this

    Yeah I'm not sure why.

    They had a Prius page for a while but that didn't generate too much discussion. They had Vinh Pham do the Rallye Monte Carlo des energies nouvelles and... I thought he also did a Targa Newfoundland in the PiP... but even then that didn't generate much discussion. That's too bad.

    BTW, has there been any buzz on Priuschat about the GR Super Sport?

    No I don't recall a thread on it. The last sports car talk was the one revealed at the LA Auto Show... GR HV Sports Concept?

    Well, I guess most of the folks here aren't really into motor racing or super cars. I've been following Toyota's WEC Hybrid Racing Team since it got going back in 2012. I find the idea of the GR Super Sport being based on the TS050 very exciting, but we'll see where it goes.
