2012 Chevrolet Sonic (Aveo replacement) - Toyota Yaris Forums

detroiter · 01-10-2011, 01:15 PM

Still has the flat, "fall on your face" look to the interior. Like it looks sharp but still bland in typical GM fashion, the hatchback version does anyways.

Atleast they didn't pull a Ford/Chrysler and use the same "tic-tac" styled radio that they've been using for the passed 25 years.

I'm interested to see what the price will be on the cars when they come out

It's kind of sad to see Toyota still sitting on their thumbs doing nothing with the Yaris in terms of performance
or real updates. I don't know if Toyota is still stuck on the whole "vanilla, A to B transportation" game or not, but
things are changing around them, if they don't change soon they will be left behind. Performance for the masses
is starting to make a comeback and unless Toyota changes it's old fogey typical buyer concept, I fear for the worse.

I don't EVER see Yaris commercials on TV either....even when they show all the other models in one ad, the Yaris is missing.

BTW, this will be the ONLY small car built in America. Props to GM for doing this. It's nearly impossible to make a small car profitable when built in America.

Agreed. I'm impressed and I hope it's a winner for GM.
