"a bit more oomph than the current model's lackluster 133HP 1.8-liter gasoline engine"
Yes! |

a bigger engine willl likely mean more weight and poorer gas mileage.
id rather see better mileage, a little more power than the current yaris, and better handling. imo, the front of that is hideous, but i know it may appeal to some. |

I WISH my car had that 133hp powerplant!
Lackluster? I'll take one anyways....

The 133bhp version wasn't slow but wasn't quick enough which is why i went for the Ibiza 20VT (180) after my RX8 (231).
Our lass has the D4D and thats nippy for a 1.4TD at 10.7sec to 62mph. I like the look of the new Yaris (HSD Version). Our lass is getting one when released in 2012. I think this version looks well but it needs a better power plant than the 133bhp 1.8VVTi with a kit like that. Why they didn't fit the 190bhp VVTL-i from the Celica T-Sport i don't know, if your making a hot version then go all out as most people aint looking for the economy of a Diesel when buying a hot hatch. Personally i think a smaller turbo or supercharged unit would be a better option. I prefer the low down grunt of a turbo motor and for those few wanting a little better economy from there hot hatch, you can get better economy out of them than a high revving low torque engine due to the way it has to be driven. |

IMHO, the pinched-nose, gaping mouth, and A-shaped rear pillar are just plain ugly.

They all doing it and I thought the same when it first started out but i really like it now and i guess thats the same for the majority of Europeans or this wouldn't have taken off so well here. I'd have this over the present Yaris and most other small hatch's out there at the moment. It sit's extremely well between the IQ and Auris, include the Prius, Carolla, Camry, Avensis etc and this shows Toyota's design direction in full and I like it. |

Also i probably like it as my RX8 Had a very similar shape rear side windows. It's just modern and makes the 5 door look fresh and i've always hated small 5door hatch backs. |

its just the 12 yaris with the piched nose and ridiculous trout mouth grill. perhaps the ugliest thing toyota has made in the past decade.
sometimes i think the wheels that will never be in a production model and blacked out windows are the trick that makes people think a car looks better than it really will. |

Too gaudy for me ... I'm so glad I got my Yaris when I did as I can see this being where they go with the Yaris eventually.
I guess I might have still considered it next Honda's subcompact mini-van by comparison, but the Fiesta would be at the forefront. I wonder how much more they're going to charge for the bigger less efficient engine. |
