[detroiter]

Very cool!! I'll post up some of my car pics from 05 when I went to stay out in the country side of mie-ken!

[CTScott]

Very cool! Did you see any of the odd color Yaris like the older dark purple or newer light purple?

[detroiter]

The reason that silvia is so slammed is because they don't have potholes like we do here hehe :)

[RHDVIPbB]

did you guys notice the 4wd Sedan hehehe

Yes I did and I will pay good money for him to snag all the parts needed to put on my car.....:bow:


also if you are still there can you get me a bB, Rumion and IQ pamphlet/brochure from the dealership?

:bow::eyebulge::drool:

[yarisugi]

Hey enviri, what city were you in? I notice the plates were Shimane plates.

[Deltasix]

What I would give for my Yaris to be AWD....

[Thirty-Nine]

Yes, they're AWD, but I believe they're the 1.3-liter engine, too.

Do want: IQ
Do want: bB
Do not want: Corolla Rumion

Japan is my dream trip. I've always been a fan of Japanese culture, and would love to experience that first hand.

[enviri]

im actually situated between matsue and yonago, at the shimane/tottori border.

Very cool! Did you see any of the odd color Yaris like the older dark purple or newer light purple?

yeah there's alot of eggwhite and light purple. i mean...VERY light purple. there's one in a school parked near here! i'll do a snapshot.

[IllusionX]

Yeah... the Yaris hatchback had AWD for a while also, but is only available in 1.3L engine. (typical for toyota to do that)

btw, i don't know if you guys noticed, the white car in the background of the yellow Aygo pic. Toyota for sure!!

and notice how many MINI are the set of pictures....

[Cutie Pie #2]

In about 2 years me and my husband are invited to stay in Japan with a friend of his for free, all we have to do is buy the plane tickets. I think it will be a once in a life time trip to take. I will take many pictures of cars and everything when we go. :w00t:

[BLAZINBLUEVITZ]

you bastard, why not tell us you were going out there. i want a set of vitz headlights.....

[vios7]

[CTScott]

Sure you can! Just pick up a couple of the biggest suitcases you can find. Make sure one's big enough to bring me back an 09 RS front bumper...

[enviri]

speaking of that! i asked junkyard for a non-rs front and rear bumper, and they said only 5000yen per bumper, so 10k yen total for front and rear! i nearly shat myself silly.

Dang! That's just over $100.

Now I'm really thinking you need to go shopping for a BIG suitcase. Or, better yet, contract a shipping container, go to the junkyard, and fill it full of all the stuff we can't get...

[enviri]

and some more.

Absolutely <3 the JDM Vitz.

[yaris-me]

Great pics. In Japan I saw the Kei cars. Soon with rising gas prices, we'll probably see them here.:laugh:

I WISH we had Kei cars! They are so awesome - and with so many different models in Japan, I wouldn't know which one to choose! But for the same price as a Yaris and engines limited to 660cc, I don't think I would want to buy one. You gotta love Japan for making some great cars though :w00t:

[mikenacarato]

ok so on the 09 vitz you have a pic of (red one) did they not change the tail lights to the led style but flush with the trunk like the ones here?

[yarisugi]

^ Actually the non-RS tails have the amber turn signals but are slightly different from the USA. The clear lens is a bit different, too. Here is a clearer picture of the JDM non-RS taillights. The average person probably wouldn't see the difference, but you and I would notice it.
