I would still rather have the Yaris!

I am not a fan of the latest series of "boxcars" (xD, Kia Soul or Nissan Cube), the look like delivery vans to me. The xA--although on the same platform as the Yaris--looks like a rollerskate.

"Cheap and outdated?" Dude, get a clue! Anyone who insults a car on its own forum is a real assclown! Goodbye, and good riddance

Kia Soul isn't too bad, Nissan Cube looks nasty, xD looks best of the 3 imo. Prefer my Yaris, of course, but I could be pretty happy an a manual xD in the right color and with the upgraded Pioneer HU.

I agree. The "boxy" look is kind of a turn off

+10 ! IMO, the style of the Yaris is FAR superior to the Scion, the Fit, and a couple of other subcompact cars in the US. It just is! I get a lot of compliments on the way she looks.

Is a shame Tamago is gonne, because he knows a lot about several subjects. He could have been a valuable member for the community.

.... but respect above all.

Toyota USA doesn't give you the TS here because they want you to buy the Scion xD. Which is a fine vehicle anyway, so just go buy that instead.

Personally, I like the looks of the Yaris better than the xD, but that's just my opinion. Like Tamago said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I'm sorry, but the xD looks like a mini van even when modded. It looks like a modded mini van. I understand that it comes with better standard features but the extra $2400 (msrp) is not worth it for an ugly van err car. It's also interesting that for it's extra hp, the xD's power to weight ratio is 20lb/hp and the Yaris is 21lb/hp not that much of a difference. Oh and it's also of note that the Yaris' user rating on msn autos is higher then the xD in all categories (including performance and styling), with 10s in quality and recommendation. I have owned mine for about 9 months now and love every trip in it. I still find myself admiring it when I'm walking towards it... For the price, Yaris is the best!

I've owned mine for over a year and feel the same way about my little Yaris. I'd maybe smile a little more if I was walking towards an Audi A5 tho'
