Yeah, pretty much. Toyota would have to REALY, REALLY screw up the styling on the Yaris (far beyond anything I currently dislike) for the styling to have any effect on me at all re a buying decision.

I'll tell you what Mercedes and BMW styling has turned almost American lately.

Its just awefull.

They are known for conservative and tastefull styling in the past but no more.

If I had the money and wanted to spend that much money on a car (why?) I wouldnt buy one of them because of the styling.

I would tell the salesman Im not buying one of your cars because of the way they look.

I agree with you re the interior and exterior of any current Mercedes (terrible), and the exterior of of some BMWs, but not any current BMW interior, with the 1 series through the 5 series being the best.

To me, the new Yaris looks better than mine times infinity. A real dashboard, not this cheap looking rubbermaid atrocity. Much sharper looking on the outside, none of this cutesy jellybean nonsense.
