First, Asia in general has to stop using Babblefish to translate their marketing stuff. Heart Up? It would have made more sense to use a heart graphic than to spell it out.

Is that 4WD or AWD? I wonder what kind of mileage it can get?

Other than that, looks like the Yaris is in danger of falling into the "bigger = better" mantra. Nicer looking, yes, but with better looks, and bigger specs with no real major improvements to the drive train (assumed), it may not be able to compete with some of the more efficient competitors in the sub-compact market.

There is a fine line between price and "nice" for econo-box shoppers.

I can't wait to see one in person.
