I have to vehemently disagree on this, but to each his own sense of style. The 3 does look odd from some angles, but many cars do that. Overall it has a great sense of balance and fluidity; hard to do on a car of that size. The current design 'language' works well on a smaller scale. And the dash and controls just look wonderful, which score big points in my book. Yaris dash and controls are just.....*sigh*

Watched the first two 2015 Yaris LE's being dropped at the local Toyota dealership yesterday afternoon. Both had automatic transmissions and alloys with a window of almost $18K! Yikes, every 2014.5 Camry LE on the lot is currently priced at only $18745 (and under $18K if you're military or a recent college grad).


Anyway, I think the new grille work looks even more grotesque in person. But, I like the new rear lenses.

Yeah, I would have to get a 2015 black SE (manual), just to tone down that front-end a bit for my tastes (including the "teardrop" fog-light housings). My first choice is still a 2009-2011 Yaris sedan or hatchback with manual transmission and crank windows, in white or black, or possibly gray, silver, or pacific blue.
