The Toyota Auris (トヨタ・オーリス ,Toyota Ōrisu?) is a compact 3 door and 5 door hatchback which shares the same E150 platform with the Toyota Corolla. In Europe, Toyota positioned the Auris as the replacement of Corolla hatchback, while the notchback Sedan continued by the Corolla nameplate. The Auris succeeds the Corolla RunX in Japan and the Toyota RunX (no Corolla badging) in South Africa. Toyota Australia and Toyota New Zealand resisted suggestions from Toyota Japan to adopt the new European Auris name for the Corolla.[1][unreliable source?] The name "Auris" is based on the Latin word for "gold", aurum. The Auris is now being sold in Japan.

The blade looks nice. You can get it in AWD, or with a 280 hp 2RG-FE engine(in jp anyway)

So you guys know, the Auris is the replacement of the corolla nameplate in Europe. We dont get the corolla anymore so no, the Auris is not a replacement of the Yaris. Is been out for over a year now as well, so yeah.

Almost true.
The Corolla is sold as a sedan.
