next gen-interior upgrade

[BluYrs]

Aside from the fact that the pic is just a computer-rendered image of something that could be the top-of-the-line specced-out Aveo it seems to me that people who buy a Yaris (or any Toyota for that matter) are rarely more concerned about appearance than substance... They value the fact that the dull-looking intrument panel on their Toyota has not become creaky after 5 years of use.

i think that is a real pic of a production model. if its not, it would appear from the interior of the RS (below) that it is a fairly accurate rendering of what the actual interior will be. i dont see why making a dependable, fuel efficient car and having a decent interior have to be mutually exclusive. there is no reason the next gen yaris has to have such a barren, plastic laden, cold feel to the interior.

and there are plenty of threads on rattles in the dash of yarii that are far less than 5 years old.

if you want to see a more spec'd out model, here is an actual photo of the interior of the RS model that was at the Detroit Auto Show.
