And knowing there is a Toyota manufacturing plant in France that produces the Yaris (but AFAIK not the sedan), it is quite possible that Toyota is taking the cheap route to make an 'all-new' European Yaris by using the sedan as a base. But who, knows, really, that's my conspiracy theory
I think it's the Czech Republic because:
1. Eskimo is the brandname they use in the czech republic, slovenia, croatia and austria (it's "ola" in belgium and it appears to be "miko" in france)
2. I found out they use light blue license plates in some cases (but it was with yellow characters then...)
3. Since 2005 they also have a toyota factory where they make the aygo

I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't a test car at all and that it's actually a sedan that was rear ended and the owner got creative with a hatch rear end.

Yes, you can.


But do you really want that?

Anyway, on topic: I don't really understand why they would make the yaris bigger? If you want a bigger yaris, you buy an auris.

Which isn't available in America. Corolla is the next size up. But I agree, Toyota please don't make the Yaris bigger except maybe an inch wider. I'm confident they won't grow it though.

heh, look at the xB... either they repeat that mistake or they learn from it, hopefully the latter...

Looks like someone pasted the front and rear of a hatch onto a sedan. It's god awful looking...

Yeah, most the amount of BS on the interwebs makes me paranoid of shops, but it's gotta be real!

Hm it almost looks like they chopped the back of a sedan off and put the back end of a hatch on there from the roofline.

Really it would be nice if toyota came out with a true sport version, something with some boost, tuning, and a sweet suspension.

2012 Yaris Discussion

With all the recent speculation, here it is officially. You can see it receiving some of the latest Toyota themed front end shapes. However, based on these pics, I'm not too excited about the boxier rest of the car. Unfortunately, the cabin shape and rear pillar reminds me of the Versa. We'll have to wait for the complete unmasking for full judging.

I agree with the Versa-ish comment. I personally don't care for it too much so far.
Thanks for sharing!
