I have once been asked if my car was a "Smart".
This morning, I saw an SLK on the road, the car was cute and so I took a good look at it, only to find that the SLK's driver was staring at my Yaris with his eyes wide open. He looked so amazed. |

alot of folks think my yaris is a hybrid. So they look at me like i'm a yuppy or something. I have to tell them its not a hybrid but still gets 40 miles to the gallon. Most or almost all folks say its "cute".

Yes, I have been asked several times if my car was a hybrid too!

I wonder about people who need external validation for everything. Sorry about your thingy.
To me, the Yaris HB is a great looking car that is fun to drive, easy on the wallet and reduces my environmental footprint. If it’s not for everyone, there are a lot of other cars out there. Several people thought it was a hybrid (it does look a little like a Prius from the front). My brother-in-law asked when I was getting the rest of the car. I’ve had several strangers come up and ask me how I like it as they are thinking of buying one. I do get a lot of looks with it. The last car I had that turned so many heads was my 1985 special edition RX-7. This one is a lot cheaper to own. |

I was completely invisible driving my last car - a white Dodge Grand Caravan.
Now, I get looks and smiles! People driving 7xx Benzies stop me and ask what my mileage is! My girlfriend loves it! I swear that I can read lips backwards - I see people behind me saying "that's one of those new Toyotas." |

I have never been so stared at since I bought my Yaris. The thing is a conversation piece. I have not seen another HB around in the northeast Phoenix / Scottsdale area. So, I see a lot of turning heads.
One guy said, "Hey, do you take that thing inside at night?". I replied, "Yep, and hang it up." |

I got the Yaris Sedan S right when it came out. When people ask me what kinda car I bought, they think i got the hatchback. I got my car lowered right away by toyota too and when people first saw it, they seemed pretty amazed! I've only had 1 person call it cute and that was from some girl on the viosclub in malaysia! Everybody else thinks it looks really aggressive!
No way this is cute! Like buckethead said, its all man!! |
