x2.

Frankly, I think it look too much like "Hey, I'm trying to be like a GTI ... but in a Yaris."

Not my cup-o-tea, but that's just my opinion.

Same here. I stopped once I saw it didn't have the lines, and was too round looking. The Yaris looks greate naked. ;)

Has anything like this been done to the sedan? The hood ridges and grill don't really match up the same way :(


Oh, and let's not forget this bad boy
