Finally, after waiting 3 months while it was being built and shipped from Japan, i got my new '08 Yaris today!

Paid $22,700(on-road) all up for it, dunno if that was a rip-off or not, but i'm just happy i FINALLY got it. Its an '08 Yaris YRX 5D Manual Hatch.

The colour is Metallic Shadow Mica, even though the Toyota Dealer wrote Greyish Blue in the service manual.

I got the optional Fog Lights and Headlamp protectors(though they are on backorder apparently, will be fited at the next service), Rear Parking sensors(which seem broken, will see about that during my first service), and Floor Mats.

Those photos were taken out where i work, and all work mates were surprised at how spacious it was inside, they didn't expect there to be so much room.

On a side note, Allianz wanted $180p/month to insure it, RACQ wanted $130. I went with RACQ :P

PS: iPhone works great with the standard integrated blue-tooth hands free system!

Looks good with the slightly different front exterior the 08-09's have. Congrats on your purchase.

Congratulations, nice car Spikeles! :thumbsup:
By the way your headlights and front bumper fascia looks, it's an '09.
Front and rear lips look really cool.
