I don't think we've talked about it yet, but notice the cup-holder change. It appears they are properly moved to the conventional locations. I think I see the slots to the side of the e-brake. Then there's the openings in front of the shifter. Too dark to make out, but the cup-holders could be there as well. They're definitely not in front of the vents anymore.

I wouldn't call that "proper" placement for the cupholders. One of my favorite features is where they are now. It also doubles as a nice cubby.

Yeah, it really is personal preference. But I, and probably a majority, believe that between the front seats is the ideal spot. Closest reach, not covering vents or anything else, and safe (not going to spill hot coffee on you or dash). This is why it is the location in 98% of all cars today.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with the current holders, but definitely prefer them to my side where my hand rests.

The heater vents keep the coffee hot, and the A/C keeps the soda cold... win/win.

It def seems to be in line with toyota's new design language, I don't think its that bad honestly, I just would like mine as a 3 door. Although I'm holding out for the rumored model thats going to slot BELOW the FT86.. word floating around the web is a RWD 1.5l that sounds more appealing to me!

The cupholders in my xA were designed that way and I hated it... Ended up using the rear cupholders instead... Reaching around the shifter gets annoying

CtrlAltDefeat · 11-12-2010, 02:52 PM

I would like it if they kept the same pod-like design but gave it a more aggressive body kit (like some of the aftermarket body kits) and then gave it more options, like a factory turbo option and/or a 1.8L engine, and of course better suspension in the rear...

roxy1 · 11-15-2010, 07:54 AM

it is still a little bit different looking interior. honestly, if my yaris had that interior, i probably would have kept it. it wasnt completely the design, it was just the overall chintzy look to it that i hated about the current yaris.

Toyota likes to pretend that the internet doesn't exist. . .

If the next Yaris looks like that it had better be a hybrid or diesel.

I'd keep my old '08 and go for a FIAT 500...

I know, I know!
But it IS a real neat looking ride with some cool options.
I think they will be built in Mexico, NOT Italy....
