toyota has not been interested in making anything look too radical in many years now. the current hatch was not so radical as it was quirky and cute. if this one is less noisy, doesnt handle so poorly, has better shifting dynamics, and doesnt look so pathetically cheap on the interior, it will appeal to more people, imo.

Handle poorly? Bad shifting dynamics? The current gen handles great, and I've never had any issues with the way it shifts. Granted, stock ride height is like it's on stilts, but that's pretty normal for most stock cheap cars... As far as 5 door vs 3 door; since the only real difference i can see is the 5 door is easier to get into the back of, I really don't see a need for both the 5 door and the 3 door. I enjoy my 3 door, but a 5 door would be a lot more convenient for the times someone or something needs to go into the back. I'll see what Toyota has to offer in 6-8 years when I'm ready to get a new car...
