2011 TOYOTA YARIS

[marcus]

here it is.. 2011 AND THE 1NR-FE ENGINE.1.3L 105 HP.. ALSO THE 2NR-FE 1.5L SEEMS TO BE BEING BOOSTED TO 120HP TO MATCH THE COMPETETION..AND BOTH HAVE I-STOP TECHNOLOGY..

[Tamago]

yuck. those headlights have got to go

[eTiMaGo]

yeah well toyota followed nissan in the weird-ass shaped headlights bandwagon, sadly...

[Kioshi]

I think I like my Vitz even more after seeing that....

[marcus]

its not that bad looking..its got potential..it seems like its confirmed and 2011 will have a new face again.

[staticorex]

At least it has more power. :p

both look ugly, :p

[YAR1S]

fakeeeee

[M4One]

Yeah, I though it was a Fit when I first saw it too. It looks okay, but until there's more photos, hard to give it a thumbs up or down.

[BrazdonW]

Looks sort of like a Ractis to me...

http://toyota.jp/ractis/image/main.jpg

bahahaha thought you said looks sor of like a Racist to me

[Black Yaris]

looks too much like the Fit.....

[tuckevalastin]

Well it seems like Toyota is slowly turning the Yaris into a Fit clone so I can believe that the next Yaris will end up very Fit-like

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Ah, don't like the looks.

[dallas]

Hey, at least it does not have the Mazda 3 smiley face grill with the cheezy Hitler moustache included.:biggrin:

[Sabretooth]

Would look so much better if it was like the following car:

This is just one of many views and concepts for the Toyota Celica / Scion TC, or whatever they decide to finally call it when its done.

[SilverBack]

Ditch the bottom corner kinks in the headlights, it doesn't really flow with the design. Makes it look a little like the Suzuki XL7:

Other than that the new Y looks okay from this angle, so far

this is my fav. of toyota's concepts:

^What is it?

the identical twin of the fit ?? :confused: im hating the chrome thingy above the grille, it just made me think how would the sedan look like ? :cool:

it looks awesome although the front kinda looks like a frog smiling lol!!!

[Kongo-Otto]

I am already driving the 1NR-FE engine in my Yaris (with i-stop). It is very economical but needs more revs than the 1.5 which is not a surprise. I-Stop works very well and i got a "ECO OFF" button to disable it.

[marcus]

i guess the start stop tech already exist in UK...on the 2010 yaris 1.3.. wow

[eht13]

I don't hate it, but I agree that this apparent evolution towards looking more like the Fit is annoying. Also wondering what the new sedan will look like.

[TitaniumBarbell]

If this is the 2011, Toyota have no plans to innovate on economical class cars. Maybe have not alot of design engineerings like before.

haha, it does kinda!

in case anyone was curious: ft-hs concept: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_FT-HS

[Treyz]

It's horrible looking if its true.

I'sd take the face lift Versa for next year over that.

http://ambientlifestyle.com/press_room_/images/versa_facelift_1.jpg

No more Yaris for me then.

As for the Conceprt for the Celica/tC thing .. I think it's just a modified Genesis.

[marcus]

that versa looks nice..hmmmm.. what under the hood though.

this is showing as the upcoming versa though

[Treyz]

It's just a facelift. Everything is the same. Rear too.

http://ambientlifestyle.com/press_room_/versa_facelift.html

Dunno if the Turbo motor is gonna make it here to the states.

[Kongo-Otto]

i guess the start stop tech already exist in UK...on the 2010 yaris 1.3.. wow

Yes it is available in many european countries since March 2009.

[marcus]

ur right forgot about the sentra.

[haku]

That's the Sentra. Look at the rear pillar.

it's the versa. it even says "nissan tiida" in japanese in the pic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Tiida

[marcus]

now i dont know which it is.. i give up..

[Qmobile]

looks like a van if you ask me

[yarisugi]

it's the versa. it even says "nissan tiida" in japanese in the pic.
You're right, haku! But I guess not everyone can read Japanese (katakana).

[Yaris Hilton]

Yep, if Toyota sold the Ractis in the U.S. under that name, it'd be widely known as the "Racist."

[haku]

The yellow one is the Sentra.

http://db.theautochannel.com/db/as_images/SENTRA4.JPG
'09 Sentra

The silver/bluish one is a Versa...

dude, the yellow one's the versa. like i said, it says "nissan tiida" (versa in US) on it. if you seriously don't believe me:

http://www2.nissan.co.jp/TIIDA/C11/0801/index.html?page=w10
http://www2.nissan.co.jp/TIIDA/C11/0801/index.html

it could always be photoshopped, but it does say tiida on it.

[brody9981]

That Audi is SWEEEEEEEEEEEET! The 2011 yaris is gross.....

[Yawesh]

by 2012-13, the iQ will replace the Yaris as the small car of America. Toyota will not care as much for the Yaris anymore(as in how it looks, better stuff, etc)

[DerFlosser]

I doubt it. It all depends on if Americans actually will buy the iQ. I don't see the iQ being a super-high-volume car, frankly. It's going to be too small for some people, especially since it won't comfortably seat four people.

Agreed. After having owned a few VAG cars...the reliability sucks and parts/repair are expensive. Toyota's are reliable and basically bulletproof. My take on the iQ is that you'll see some around (like SMART cars) but that's about as far as it goes.

[hasher22]

lol @ 2011 yaris fail geez they really made it ugly......

u know car companies should do. Get a public poll up with a possible upcoming design and let the public decide whats hot and whats not. They shouldnt just stick their opinions in their own company or do they? After were the ones buying the cars

Blah whatever......2011 yaris is ugly full stop

[hasher22]

+1

lolz isnt america the "biggest" country now?

[carhartt]

till the new yaris will come in 2011 this is the new sh!t :)) tested and damn it`s funny

[Kal-El]

I really like the illustration on page one. Better than the '07-'09's IMO.

[wooverstone8]

That iQ is nice. Do you have any interior pictures?


BTW thanks for posting the picture!

[gokartride]

That iQ is nice. I agree!! I found lots of pics here (http://www.topspeed.com/cars/toyota/2009-toyota-iq-ar53460.html).

As a former 2-time MINI owner (and now proud Yaris owner...hey, the Yaris is a better Mini, imo!!!) I can tell you the 10 foot length of the iQ will send shivers up and down the spines of classic Mini aficianados. 10 feet was the magic number...the length of the classic Mini. Add 9 airbags...yeah, this car should get some serious attention, especially since it still boasts a bit of a rear seat!!! With such clever packaging and space-saving innovation, I predict that in the end the mantle of the iconic Mini will not (ironically) fall to MINI, but to another car-maker.....maybe even Toyota (although BMW is planning a line of city cars, too)!!! The future of small cars looks to be very exciting indeed!!!

It all depends on if Americans actually will buy the iQ. Alas, this seems the fate of every small car made. Time will tell.

Looks like the old FIT! Yuk!:eek:

Looks like a Saturn ION!:confused:

[CTScott]

I ran into this picture today. I have no idea if it is really what the 2011 is going to look like, but if it is, I like it...

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Better have a TMIC for having that hood scoop there. And wth is that Honda?

[cruz-gsr]

i like it, it looks very good

[auxmike]

Can anyone here read Japanese and tell us what is says?

[gokartride]

Looks pretty cool and, for once, so does the Honda!!! :biggrin:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Anyone notice that 5-lug pattern in that rendering?

[computerlove87]

Looks like someone took a pic of the current Yaris then went a little crazy with PhotoShop's liquefy tool.

[ryota]

that looks like it should be the "S" version... if so i might have to upgrade my little yaris sooner than the 15 years from now like i originally planned.

[eht13]

Anyone seen or heard anything new on the 2011 Yaris? Wonder what the hatchback and the sedan will look like, and whether the hatchback pic in this thread is legit. I have seen a couple times articles say that the new Yaris will be based on the iQ platform, so I'm thinking that would necessitate a smaller wheelbase, etc. than the Yaris has now. Wonder if that will be for the sedan too or just the hatchback. Thoughts?

[Kal-El]

The new Yaris is coming in 2012. The 2011 will be unchanged. I doubt the cars will be smaller than the current model.

[eht13]

OK, thanks... so 2012 instead. But if it is on the iQ platform, it seems like it would be smaller than now... weird.

[why?]

it would be heavenly if it was just an iQ though. dirt cheap with even better gas mileage.

[Kal-El]

Even if it is on the same platform, they can still stretch it. There's not a chance in hell that the Yaris would become the size of a microcar. As it is, the Scion IQ will fill a small niche.

[yarisugi]

It reads : "New model Vitz versus Honda New Compact Car"
Both will start selling in 2011.

[BluYrs]

Despite its diminutive size, the iQ is (or could be) by no means "dirt cheap". As its not intended as a "base" Toyota, all iQs come standard with alloys, A/C, leather steering wheel and gear knob, audio controls on steering wheel, keyless remote, immobilizer, electric windows, AM/FM radio with CD (MP3, WMA, 6 speakers, AUX in), heated seats, ABS and TC, 9 airbags (incl rear window). For comparison: the most expensive Aygo (excluding optional extras) undercuts the cheapest iQ by $2300.

I guess the next Yaris is going to be boxier-looking, following Toyota's latest design trends. In this sense the speculative photochop above is headed in the right direction. I don't think it will grow in size, it's more likely we'll see a smaller next-gen Yaris. This doesn't mean it will be smaller inside- I think some of the solutions seen on the iQ (smaller HVAC, position of rear shocks, differential and steering rack) could make it into the next Yaris.

that is in other countries, and with the iQ itself being imported to the US as a Scion, there is no chance of that being replicated here. The Yaris will always be the bottom of the line, and there will be a stripped version no matter what it is based off of. Like Kal-El mentioned, even if it is based off the iQ it will prolly be streched a bit at least.

[JBougie]

I completely take back saying I wanted to trade up for a new model ... if the Yaris looks like that, I will just keep my 07 until it literally falls apart and forget about that. That really looks horrible :/

[JBougie]

Looks like a Saturn ION!:confused:

It kinda does.... the front end is different, but the rear does look a lot like it <<compares as I look out the window at my husbands ION>>

[Kal-El]

Here's another rendering from a Japanese source...

Here's a colored version of Kal-El's pic

^ Ok, that doesn't look much different than the current model. I like that ... I don't like those other pictures, they were horrible!

[2009BBPliftback]

I'm excited for the I start stop on the new motors. I wonder if they will pitch the toyota "optimal drive" that they pitch in europe. it would be a great way to boost fuel econ.

[Yaris4ever]

Here's another rendering from a Japanese source...

I think it looks great if they keep it like that but the picture at the start of this thread makes it look like a Honda & I don't like it :thumbdown:

[Treyz]

I'm just not a fan of the tails .. but overall, the car looks good for the drawing above. seems the headlights are taking an xA approach. But then again, I'm not 100% sure because Toyota has been maing their car headlights similar hence why the slight buldge for the '09 + Yaris.
