a yaris comparable to the xD, let's see..........

liftback 5 door S
msrp 15,125
epa 29/36

scion xD
msrp 15,450
epa 26/32
both automatics


and guess which one will be marked up by the dealer because it "saves on gas" ?

and for that extra couple hundred dollars, you get a much nicer interior, better seats, more power, a better stereo, more room.

so yeah, not to sound like an ass or anything. I know is only a game of badges, but seriously! Do you actually believe that this thing:



Is better looking than this?



Boy, that is the real reason why the US is not getting cars like the TS and the Type R, etc.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. the yaris looks cheap and out dated.

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"Cheap and outdated?"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.
