scion xA = luxury yaris? - Toyota Yaris Forums

hhcchen · 06-29-2006, 02:13 PM

do you guys feel xA is a luxurious version of yaris...?

fnkngrv · 06-29-2006, 02:44 PM

take a look at the front of the Yaris and compare the front of the new Camry...they are pretty close too....

so then possible line of thinking would be the xA is a luxury of the Yaris and the Camry is the luxury of the xA?

nah!

Good comparison photos tho....

hhcchen · 06-29-2006, 03:55 PM

i meant, aside from the obvious plastic wheel cover of xa...
the xa seems to have better trim, better steering wheel, and better seats...
a base xa is almost a fully loaded yaris... (i think...?)

fnkngrv · 06-29-2006, 03:57 PM

I actually think that other than the seats the xA looks cheesy compred to the trim level, etc in the Yaris

echo_hrs · 06-29-2006, 04:15 PM

The xA is based on the discontinued Gen 1 Echo/Vitz/Yaris Platform...

The seats are the same in the Gen 1 Echo/Vitz/Yaris RS/TS sport versions...

It is too bad you don't get the Gen 2 Yaris RS that Japan/Canada/Other Markets get, the interior trim/fabrics are upgraded as well as sport seats, and the exterior skirts/spoiler/alloys etc...

Cheers

Besides wishing it was a 5 door Hatchback, NO. I like the "look" a little better.. just a little.

WOW! thanks for the SIDEbySIDE comparsion SHEETS!!! you da man!!!

TrancosRt · 07-06-2006, 11:22 AM

To me it looks like the ugly version :S.
I was never fond of Scions except of the TC, and would never own one (gas issues + ricey feel = no no).
To me the Yaris is definietly the best looking car on the road without going to Porches and higly pricey cars (Lexus doesn´t come in here. I hate them). Only the new Civics tickle my interest, but a Hatch Yaris does the trick for me.

Nice comparison...if only the Yaris had the radio controls on the wheel.

hey hey hey... why hate the lexi?

anywaiz, there are some interior bits on the scion xA that seem to be more "upscale" compared to the vitz, but then again, the scions were meant to be loaded cars from the beginning- their image wasn't meant to be "econo-box" (though it is in essense) from scion, but identical tune-able cars that you can personalize.

the real comparison would be the jdm ist vs. vitz. i'm pretty sure the ist is a little bit more stripped than the xA, but it has way more quality jdm features, options, and accesories up the butt.

^^ if make you feel better since you drive lexus. i do not like porsche's or the cliche(sp) italian cars. ^__^;; i more fond of british luxury and sports.

last month, friend took me to rodeo drive since i never went there. i see a lamborghini getting towed away because it broke down. ford focus driver laughing at lamborghini owner because his dinky ford from many years old is at least running. it funny sight.

JustAnotherAsian · 07-18-2006, 10:20 AM

^haha, thanks 田中秀樹.

(sorta off-topic, but i think i've seen you on another forum...)

TrancosRt · 07-18-2006, 10:45 AM

I just think that the Lexus has been trying to mimick the german luxury cars in the past and quite frankly, I don't like what they've been coming up with lately. If it makes you feel a little better, I think the same of most Luxury cars except Audis, BMWS, Porsches, and Italian (European <3 :P). But is just a matter of opinion... To each his own they say :D.
