Was searching online and found a bunch of 2015's through this site:

http://southeast.buyatoyota.com/yaris

They show a 2014 Red 3 Door Yaris L (like my 2013) & a 2015 White 3 Door Yaris LE - good view of the new front end. I love mine still, it's getting that 'Vintage Older Model' look to it ...

the front of the 15 looks like it belongs on an entirely different car....and the chrome makes this giant "x". it just overwhelms the rest of the car.

it reminds me of a car (the name of which I wont utter) where it looks like designers of two different cars slapped it all together and called it a refresh.

the interior, at least what had been previously been shown, looks to be a slight improvement. however, the front grill and bumper treatment is a big mess, imo. they should have saved it for when the next generation comes around and the rest of the sheet metal was changed.

Oh gawd,r ed and white cars, the white car doesn't highlight the new look and the red is horrible, my Yaris more aggressive looking then either of those.

It's not like I had a lot of colors to choose from. I wanted a white one, but the last vehicle was white so I was 'pushed' towards Absolute Red - If Toyota offered Banana Yellow, Hugger Orange, British Racing Green Opaque & a Dark Brown Opaque (all with black interiors) I would have ended up buying 4 of them

Seriously Yaris color choices are horrible. You have a choice of white, red, silver, gray, black, blue, Blue & BLUE

If Toyota offered Banana Yellow

My first car I bought with my own money was yellow. I got it for the exact amount credited for the trade in as a favor to my dad. I could have sold it right away for a profit...but I kept it through the end of high school. It wasn't a car that should ever have been manufactured in yellow. VERY few cars (and zero current Toyota models, IMO) look good in yellow. The de tomaso Pantera, de tomaso Mangusta, Saleen S7, Vector W2, and some Ferraris and Lamborghinis come to mind as examples of cars that, IMO, look good in yellow.

(all with black interiors)

^^^^^ 'all with black interiors' deserves as many thumbs up as 'hand crank windows' .

There are so many boring colors of late, miss the OLD days when there was a choice of 12-20 colors for every car.
Yellow is associated with "lemon" with a lot of people, seeing a yellow Pinto or Vega comes to mind...
To me, having a reliable car in yellow is a different story. Always liked flashy colors on cars. Love the light yellow Yaris color on the 2nd gens.
Yes, Black goes with all colors, too. It's just timeless.

There is a small group of people who like the brighter candy colors, particularly fans of small cars. Largely though, people prefer sedated colors - silver, white, grey, black...

Part of it is resale value. The basic colors I mentioned means an easier sell down the road and for more money. Selling a bright yellow or lime green used car is going to be a challenge.

I agree. Some cars look good in bright or unique colours, but I'm one of those people who prefer white or silver cars... or perhaps red if it is a small car.

For resale value, basic colours generally attract more buyers and fetch higher prices.

I am as well. I just bought a Classic Silver Metallic 2014 (5-speed MT) L (day before yesterday). With my 2007, I ranked the five MT 3-doors available in the Northeast by color, equipment, and diistance from the physical location of the dealer from where I plopped myself down to do the searches (Chicopee, MA). My #1 choice was a Meteorite Metallic (closest to Silver at that time) Yaris in Cambridge, MA. When I arrived at the dealer, I was told the car was still out on the boat . My second choice was my Bayou Blue baby, located in Rhode Island. In the past, I've owned a white GTI, a Silver Acura, and a Silver 5.0 Mustang.

I've always had white or silver cars (with the exception of a red Nissan Sentra, a Blue Mitsubishi Expo, and a teal Suzuki Sidekick).

Good to see a non-studio shot of the new Yaris. I don't particularly like it, but it is much more in-your-face than any other Yaris to date.

If you visit the official Toyota Canada website, then you can see what will likely be the rear taillight design of the 2015 USA Yaris version. It is a toned-down red/amber taillight, unlike what you see in the European pictures, and the rear reflectors are missing on the rear bumper black trim section. :(

Still, those taillights do look a LOT better on the car from all various angles than the current 2012-2014 ones.

I used to have a blue Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, and a black Mitsubishi Mirage/Dodge Colt. I know people like them (and they do look good with a great paint job...kept clean and otherwise well cared for).....still, I don't think I will ever again buy a black car.

. I vaguely remember a member posting a DIY re 'covering up ?' the lower reflectors on the USDM 3rd Gen rear bumper.

I really like how the "chrome strip" piece above the license plate is body colored now. If I still decide to buy a 2007-2012 Sedan instead of a 2015 SE, that is one of the first things that I wanted to change, lol.

The 2015 front end (Yuk!) makes the 2012-2014 front end (which I've never liked) look so much better to me!

The 2015 rear lenses look much better. The back-up lights appear to be in the lower apron. Too bad the rear reflectors have been deleted. Nice to see the chrome garnish is now body colour.

I dislike the chrome strip, except with my Classic Silver Metallic...probably because there is less of a contrast. I even mentioned that to my salesperson.

[roxy1]

no point of the big screen in there unless navi is gonna be standard...not "a $1000 option". um, no thanks, ill pick up a navi unit for $70 that does a better job anyway. I thought the grey insert in the dash was supposed to be gone but I guess not.

I still don't get it. the whole car is so simple and understated (which I like) then you get to that overdone front grill.

[Flipper_1938]

I don't get the huge, non-functional grill thing.

Avalon would be a lot nicer without the ugly, giant grill too.
