then I'll be the odd one out and say I'm kinda liking it so far, but will reserve final judgement until we see the actual thing.

Man. . . I'm not sure which 2012 Yaris thread to put this in since there are a ton of 'em. . . but here are more pics:

That's a really nice Toyota Versa!

Really though, I'm sure it'll be nice but it better pack a punch in the engine bay. The yaris is starting to get out performed. Many magazines don't even include it anymore when doing compact car comparisons.

I do like how the wheels are finally flush with the wheel well lips, that's how all cars should come. It's too bad the current Yaris doesn't come flush like this new one.

Interesting renderings but as usual, not entirely accurate.

Unfortunately, the Versa rear pillar "kink" is accurate based on the real spy shots. But notice the eyelids on the headlights? The real shape can be seen which are higher profile. Plus, do they expect us to believe the Yaris will have dual center exhaust? Come on. Also, the whole front bumper seems overly exaggerated in an aggressive sense. It's nice looking, but Toyota would never sell it like that. Even Scion is more conservative.

did anyone notice the single wiper I don't think I'd like that at all. I'd like to see the 2 door version though not really a fan of 4 door hatches.

What's up with the new single wiper designs coming up? Is this a cost cutting feature?

Yes

That looks pretty official. Any other pics available?

I'm dying to see the sedan too.

Looks like a Honda Fit with Toyota Logo LOL

Here are some pics from another proto shot in Europe in August. This one literally looks like a sedan with the trunk chopped and a hatch stuck on in its place.

^ As discussed at length in other threads, it's obviously just a test mule. The new Yaris will be ALL new as the most recent pics in this thread shows.

Oops - Totally missed the other discussions. I just read the article on leftlanenews, and I see the mention of new sheet metal vs. mock-up using existing parts, so that makes sense. The white one seemed plausible to me, as it seems like using more of the same parts for liftback and sedan would make good financial sense...

Quick comments. . . I'm not a fan of the new dash. . . but the non-centered dash will shut up a lot of critics. . . IMO, I love the center instrument panel.

I also hate how the window controls are flat and completely horizontal. The current hatch design that swoops up allows wider knee room, but with that panel in the way, it definitely narrows leg room. It looks like they also removed the fifty billion glove box/cubby design. . . a shame since I use every pocket and storage area. Also looks like the dash cupholders are gone too. Missing as well are the vertically stacked HVAC controls, a very cool design IMO in the hatch. It has a minivan style dash protrusion, which is a common trend in new cars and something I absolutely LOATHE.

That is kind of ugly in my opinion as well. They could have at least made it like the 2012 Yaris Verso (which we'll never see on this side of world):

Thanks djct watt.

I think we basically have our official pics.

There is a lot of tape and cardboard there but overall, I'm diggin the shape. Only thing I have a concern about is the blind spots in the rear pillars/door. a bit too wide for my tastes. Also the lines on the door skins most likely won't be there anyways. They don't line up at all, so again, a lot of cardboard and tape here.
