Well, I'm not a huge fan of that Yaris either. But I definitely don't agree with them as far as the stock Yaris goes. I love the way it looks, handles, and costs. IMHO, all we need is a bit more ponies under the hood, and we should be a very happy bunch indeed.

Welcome to the forums!

that thing looks hidious...oh well most cars @ SEMA look nasty as hell to begin with.

Sorry guys- the car was also at the NY Auto show last March, it's been around a while. I also have to say, it looks a lot better in person. I'd love to drive it- 166 bhp!

[mikenacarato]

i do not like that at all

[m911gt]

What are they talking about when they said, "Unveiled at the SEMA show?" I saw that Yaris in January at the Chicago International Auto Show. I thought it looked awesome in person and to answer the last question they asked, yes, I would like to drive it. :)

i love the concept! And yes I would drive it daily if i had one!

They should give mine a spin around the block. :biggrin:

[cali yaris]

the 1.3-litre petrol engine has been donated a supercharger and a reworked exhaust system, boosting power up to 166bhp.

hmmm, 1.3L motor, what is that, 80 or so whp to start? bumped to 140 whp with a supercharger and an exhaust?

I call BS without seeing the dyno.

I can see 166BHP out of a 1.3 with a supercharger. OH, and I would drive the pants off of either that concept or your yaris Garm!:smile:

[marcus]

it just needs to be lowered a bit more..

[cali yaris]

jkuchta, you can start with their concept -- I've seen you drive... :biggrin:

[jkuchta]

:wink:

[at3GG]

It's cool to look at, just like a lot of concepts are. Neeeeever do it to my own though even if money wasn't an option. I think i'd drive Garms before that just because a lot of the additional power in the concept might be ruined by the topless affect. Plus YW FTW, bring it on Yaris Club!

that yaris looks like a dildo...

[dvlnblkdrs]

it was actually revealed at last year's sema.. everyone on here had made a big deal of it and we all looked at the article as they were releasing it.. so now it is only be recycled, a year later.. HOW LAME! yes, this is very much a cool idea.. seen it in person @ toyofest back in may.. cool car, practical? not really, but thats y its strictly a show car..

[TLyttle]

Personally, I think they should have cut it off behind the top of the windshield; hacking off the posts half-way up makes it look like a backyard job...

[mojoyaris]

I would use it to compete against the miata's at the solo 2 events!!!!
It sure would get alot of attention

[darthbauer]

I would mount an R2-D2 dome where the backseat would have been.

[mojoyaris]

COOL!!! THAT IS THE BEST IDEA YET!
