The Morizo RR gets exclusive KW coilovers, a carbon fiber wing, and a tuned AWD system calibration—basically Toyota's attempt to justify a limited run. Problem is, it's automatic-only in a segment where manual matters, and only 100 exist. Values will climb, but it's hard to get excited about a hot hatch that won't let you row your own gears.

Honda's teasing a new Civic Type R concept with Prelude S+ Shift tech, reigniting talk of a proper comeback to the UK market. The dual-clutch transmission paired with a hot hatch suggests Honda's finally ready to challenge the Golf R's dominance again. Last time the Type R mattered in Europe was the FK8—this could be the one that actually gets there.

Toyota's dropping a 1.6L turbo four-cylinder hatchback so dialed it requires a lottery to own one. The Morizo RR gets a forged crank, revised turbo, and suspension tuning that makes the standard GR feel like a practice car. This is what happens when a manufacturer gives engineers rope instead than marketing committees.
