Because we all know that Yaris drivers are a bunch of hooligans!

If only the Yaris was so adored in the U.S. market. We would then have all these cool variations of the vehicle to choose from. That little Yaris crossover is just sexy.

I don't get it, what was so offensive about this commercial?

Spinning the wheela is a "No No" here on Australian roads. Getting caught purposefully spinning your wheels on the road will result in the car being impounded for 3 months and the driver ticketed for dangerous driving. This occurs under so-called "Hoon laws".

If you are not the owner of the car, it will still be impounded and you wil have to explain to the owner...
