I think these might just be accurate. The outward styling seems to be similar to the style Toyota is moving towards. The grill is making me think of the Camry Hybrid, and from the rear it looks like a smaller Matrix. Just IMO.

Quick comments. . . I'm not a fan of the new dash. . . but the non-centered dash will shut up a lot of critics. . . IMO, I love the center instrument panel.

I also hate how the window controls are flat and completely horizontal. The current hatch design that swoops up allows wider knee room, but with that panel in the way, it definitely narrows leg room. It looks like they also removed the fifty billion glove box/cubby design. . . a shame since I use every pocket and storage area. Also looks like the dash cupholders are gone too. Missing as well are the vertically stacked HVAC controls, a very cool design IMO in the hatch. It has a minivan style dash protrusion, which is a common trend in new cars and something I absolutely LOATHE.

That is kind of ugly in my opinion as well. They could have at least made it like the 2012 Yaris Verso (which we'll never see on this side of world):

Thanks djct watt.

I think we basically have our official pics.

There is a lot of tape and cardboard there but overall, I'm diggin the shape. Only thing I have a concern about is the blind spots in the rear pillars/door. a bit too wide for my tastes. Also the lines on the door skins most likely won't be there anyways. They don't line up at all, so again, a lot of cardboard and tape here.

If by "style" he means "blandness" then yes. I seriously think that the Yaris cannot hold its own against European and Japanese (even Korean) rivals if it does not have any distinguishing features.

You know how reviews always say the current Yaris is boring and how everyone is nagging about the distressing center dials and weird HVAC-layout? Well, I predict reviews of the upcoming new Yaris will say that the car is even more bland than the old one, which at least had some distinguishing figures like the dials and the center console layout

Hell... Even the AVEO RS is looking sharper...

Kal-El · 10-05-2010, 08:17 AM

I kind of think that the new Yaris is going to lose that "cult" appeal that we've seen here on YarisWorld with the current generation model. This new one doesn't even seem to attempt to beat the competition - most notably the Ford Fiesta which has already been out in Europe for over 2 years. Plenty of time for Toyota to push the envelope. Just compare the interiors. No contest. Even the next Chevy Aveo, or whatever it will be called, will most likely be more compelling.

Toyota did the same thing with the current Corolla. They got comfortable and are no longer the leader in that class. They still have the quality, but Ford, Hyundai, Chevy, and others are starting to build better cars.

I really hope the sedan is less disappointing.

Looks like the front end is starting to get a little "pointy", and I really don't care for that.

Is it just me, or did the Yaris go from a friendly smile on the front to a nasty snarl?

Nasty snarl is better.

Most guys are turned off by a car that is "cute" with a soft smiley face.

Remember though, that the aggressive silver example is only the most sporty model. The standard model is still on the cute side although less so than the current generation.

Yeah, every girl who sees our car says it's "cute". A friend of mine saw it for the first time the other day and said, "I could pick that car up with one arm!" He probably could. :/

I'm not a fan of relocating rear numberplate placement onto the bootlid, just seems to common. On a side note maybe the moderators could change the title to reflect the nature that actual real JDM photos are in here to gauge more public opinion?

Oh yeah, I actually hadn't noticed the plate location change. Personally, I don't mind either way. I think it's just an effort to visually break up the wide open space on the hatch.

Toyota just needs to go for it now. The redesigned Yaris faces serious competiton, and if these pictures are the real deal then many will be dissapointed.
