Small car's name? - Toyota Yaris Forums

yaris-me · 03-26-2009, 12:42 PM

I was going north on the 5 by Disneyland late at night when a small white four door liftback passed me. As it came along side it was small like a Kei car, but I've never seen it before and I keep wondering about that car. I got a glimpse of the back and it had round tail lights about 8 or 9 inches in diameter, on the left a name that started with an "M"?, on the right 3 or 4 charcters like "GL7." Does anyone know what I saw?

Did you see this car?

I saw it for the first time in the carpool lane going east on the 60 through Riverside:

It wasn't a Nano or VW. It was more like a Yaris but smaller. It had absolutely round taillights.

I think I found it...

Alfa Romeo has been spotted being tested in Cali, they are working on some new cars and small car market vehicles, could be possible you spotted a 4 door hatch version of this car.
