How often do you get asked "is that a Yaris?"

[Jfoofoo]

Had the car for almost 3 weeks now. Got asked a couple times before, however today alone I was asked 3 times. :biggrin:
Once in the Homedepot parking lot, the guy actually wanted to see inside the car :eek: so I open the door and let him pop the head in to take a tour.
Second time was in the bestbuy parking lot, it was just a simple "is that a Yaris?"
The third time, was after I pulled out the bestbuy parking lot and by the traffic light. The guy stopped next to me gesture me to roll down the window, which I have to lean over and roll it with a handle since I don't have power window.. I guess that must looked pretty lame... he also wanted to know if it is a yaris I am driving.. after I told him yes.. he said.. this is the first one he had ever spotted on the road. :w00t:
I guess Yaris is finally catching on with the public.:headbang:

People call my yaris an echo! hahaha

I'm like, it's a yaris, a newer version of the echo.

[riceboy]

[vodkalush]

I;ve been asked 3x's

[ChinoCharles]

I get more "what is that?"

[daq421]

I get more "what is that?"

Yep,
thats what I get too... a "what is that?" followed by a "cute car" if it's a women asking and a "hows the mileage?" if it's a guy... This has happened a number of times...

The car does attract attention..

Me too! Oh wait...I do have an ECHO:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[foober]

Most everyone asks if its a hybrid. I say no. Its better.:thumbup:

[badhabitz]

i get asked what kind of car it is and if its the new yaris since i have the jdm badges on also if its a hybrid and all my coworkers call it the lunch box on wheels

I've never had a car that so many peole came up and asked questions about because they were thinking about buying one. Toyota has a big hit on their hands... if they'd only bring more into the US.

I was at the bank and the teller girls were asking about my Yaris. :smile: My brother and his wife were making fun of my car when they first saw it, but when I acually showed it to them, they changed their tune. They wanted one for my brother who commutes about 120 miles round trip each day in a Taurus! That is a no brainer right there. He goes through a minimum of 6 gallons per day! Yaris would cut it in half!

US needs 5 door!! My boss and I have seen one down here in Richmond, VA driving around with Ontario plates! Makes me quite jealous! I might trade mine in in a few years if the 5 door comes to the states. Can you buy cars in Canada and register them in the states?

Yes you can buy a car from Canada and register in the U.S. At least I did that in both Maine and Texas.

I had a few friends who thought it looked a bit on the cute side. But they started to like it when I told them how much money you save on gas.

[jmew0ng]

I get asked, "What is that? Looks like an egg" or... "Looks like you" -.-

[sstupid]

I don't own one, yet, but my wife says, "It looks like a dinosaur head." :biggrin: I'm getting one, anyway.

[DorytheYaris]

I get asked "What kind of car is that?" and "Is that a hybrid?" all the time. When they ask me if it's a Hybrid, I tell them "nope, it's about 10k cheaper than a hybrid but I get about the same gas mileage!" Their faces light up. It's funny.

[KSIbucky]

i never get asked that i get what the hell is that

[KSIbucky]

my girlfriend says it looks like a nose or dust mite

[KSIbucky]

or an egg

[tiksman]
