Everything about this car is too late.

The new aesthetic refresh (should have come one or two years ago).
The FIVE DOOR SPEC! (they started making it about the same time as the 3- and 4-doors)

Dang it Toyota. You should be REPLACING THIS GENERATION SOON.

But of course, we’re waiting until the Scion-esque iQ comes, then they can make a Yaris*coughiQcough*.

*big sigh*

The only way to cram 5 people in this thing is if your a Hobbit goin bar hopping in the Shire. You could wipe your ass with a shower curtain but I would not reccomend it.

280bhp from 1.5 liters? You don’t want to test a Nissan motor quite that much.

Nearly $20K and Toyota puts drum brakes on the rear axle, a four speed automatic, etc. Begs the question … what’s the point? And that centralized instrumentation pod is just idiotic.

I don’t think yarddog82abn would think this were ugly if he knew that it was designed in Europe.

Not that I would buy a Yaris, though. Looks good on the outside but is not one of their better cars.

For the money, I’d rather get the XD since it is basically the same car. It just has a better interior.

Why don’t they just release a Euro version like they did in the 90s with the Turbocharger, Apparently tuned version can pop out an easy280bhp.

The unfortunate side-effect of plus-sizing wheels and tires is that the rotors and brake calipers look horribly undersized.

I’d say the stiffest competition would come from the new Fit… both the Honda one and the Wii one.

I feel sorry for ANYONE who wants/has to drive that piece.

It looks good for its market segment. If only they would stop using that obsolete center instrument cluster.
