My girlfriend calls my LB a bunny car. So we named it Rini, which is a Japanese girl's name meaning "Little Bunny"

I could see where some might say the LB is "cute," however the reason I'm attracted to it is 1) it's inexpensive 2) it's reliable 3) it's good on gas and 4) it's so unique it's somewhat of a niche car, kind of like a Mini Cooper or a Miata.

So True!

I was walking out to my Yaris this morning and I just got a good feeling about knowing I was about to start it and drive it. Weird but true... I think it was love at first sight, and after driving one, I placed my order a few days later. I just love it! I also laugh everytime I fill up and see an SUV pumping the gas in knowing they are about to pay $75 to my $30 and will burn it at twice the rate. I know some insecure people who just can't own a minivan, they gotta drive an SUV to project the macho thing. Dumbasses.

How about the assholes with these things?

I agree with most of the members here, but living in LA and having been Yaris owner for 6 months now I only saw 2 or 3 guys driving LB.

So I have to ask, what makes a guy buy something soo cute that he could possibly be ridiculed by stupid macho men?
It's funny you say that, because when my wife and I went car shopping, we each got a Yaris S-Type sedan (see sig). I didn't care for the LB, but my wife HATED it. She thought the LB was hideous and felt the sedan was "much cuter". I guess everyone has their own personal views and tastes...

I have received a number of the "it's so cute" comments from women. I even got one from a guy one time which was a bit awkard.

LMAO. That's the only word I get that describes our car. We just hear "cute" everywhere we go. I don't believe it has ever been called otherwise. I don't mind driving a "cute" car, it's better than driving an ugly car.
