Mind of Toyota
Maybe they kill the goofy name and hideous face at the same time, then the same basic vehicle is reborn as something new. (The hatchback feature generally is not falling out of favor in the overall car market)

The xp130 is just retested by euroncap and Got 5 Stars again, the xp150 would probably get 0-1 Star just like the Fiat Punto and panda. There will come a new Yaris for Europe within the next 2 years, you might get lucky and get it over there.

I think the Mexican-model Yaris looks cool.

This Yaris model looks similar in design to a Mazda CX3 or Honda HRV. Rather than call it a 5-door hatchback, just call it a subcompact SUV and it will probably be a real winner.

i completely agree with you on calling it a 'subcompact suv'. not sure if the styling was intentional to take advantage of current market trends, but sometimes optics is all you need(even if there's no awd available). this is the 'look' people seem to be going for(not me- i like the old one better).

Maybe that's why I like it. I was a big fan of the matrix. My wife has the pontiac version, the vibe...and it is such a great car. 240k miles on it currently.

2019 Yaris Mind of Toyota
Still too many fake, arbitrary and useless details, lines and shapes. (Compare w/ a gen 2 yaris 4-door hatchback...and remember that some or many places in the US sold Yaris but kept it a secret at every organizational level...much as Ford USA did w/ the excellent little new Fiesta in 1978--the first "world car.")
Less is more. Form follows function. KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) Last edited by dogsridewith; 12-22-2018 at 09:05 AM. |

if ford can front the bill for that stuff in cars under 18k so can toyota, its just toyota being stubborn and not wanting to apex there best selling car the corolla. its kinda like apple making there best software and hardware available on only the most expensive products. |
