This Fiesta costs over $19,300. How many people are willing to pay that for a sub-compact? Some, but not many. After all, Honda Fits can also command such a price with nav. Yet the Fit doesn't include nearly as many features.
I think you guys do have to get use to high prices for sub-compact cars.
My Yaris costs $33,000 a few years ago.

Is that USD?

In the US, that will buy you TWO brand new loaded 2011 Yaris's. A typical mid line model is only about $14-$15K.

Or you could buy a new Mercedes, BMW, or Lexus.

I just reversed the images to see what a proper left hand drive format will look like. Suddenly looks better IMO.

The diesel Yaris is more expensive than the petrol one.
But the cheapest Yaris with a 1 liter engine is around $16K.

A Toyota iQ is expensive too from $16K - $30K

The cheapest C-class for example in the Netherlands is $50K.

To buy a car in Europe (The Netherlands) is a expensive task.
But that's not where it ends, we have very high taxes and very high gasoline prices.
Scandinavian countries are more expensive though.

I hope that the new Yaris comes with HSD.
It will be cheaper to drive a hybrid Yaris for me instead of the diesel.

That's outrageous.

For reference, what's the minimum wage out there?

It's a Versa-Vitz! An illegitimate child of a Versa Momma and a Vitz Daddy. They met at one of the "Micro-Meets".

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

I wish Toyota would use a wishbone suspension design instead of the beam/strut setup

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...

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.
