My FIAT CITY was made in Brazil, materials were not first quality, specially electrical connections but besides that the DESIGN and overall was great, my Yaris reminds me a lot about how good it was.

I like the new Fiat 500 as well. Looks like a neat car. I'm glad they are bringing it here. Hope its a successful car.

Will there be a 500 Abarth SS? Would love one!

derickveliz2 · 12-30-2010, 09:26 PM

From 1988 to 1998 I owned a FIAT CITY (small, really small pickup) I love my little FIAT.

I wouldn't hesitate to get another FIAT, they are awesome little machines.

^ boosting the car's output to 264 hp (197 kW, 268 PS) and up to 330 Nm (243 ft-lb) of torque.

Of the Fiat? I dont think you will see the 2012 Yaris there.

2009BBPliftback · 01-10-2011, 02:32 AM

Really I thought they were going to do the American unveil at the 2011 show? Well damn I guess I will have to look for something else to snap pictures of... Maybe the new prius mpv?!

They might not reveal the USDM version until the New York auto show or wait until the fall. From what I heard the new Camry will be revealed at that time.

I saw a Nissan Versa hatch while I was stuck in traffic today and thought, where else I have I seen that rear door shape before? And then the new Yaris popped into my head. Bleh, is there any hope of a 3 door hatch coming out, or is it strictly a 5 door model?

It looks like Toyota has no plans of continuing a 3-door. Weird how they first offer only a 3-door in the US, and now, only a 5-door after 100's of thousands of 3-doors have been sold to happy customers.

The so called marketing geniuses feel that most will just want the 5-door. And since almost every other company is no longer offering 3-doors, Toyota won't lose many customers.

not too quirky looking, 5 door hatch will sell much better than the current hatch ever did.

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...

Love the way the Yaris handles, just be sure to get the rear stabilizer bar.

i take my stock corolla around on/off ramps at speeds that the yaris was rolling so badly i had to slow down. just too much roll. not saying the corolla is a great handler (it isnt). just better than the yaris, and thats a little sad.

id say the yaris has the worst clutch uptake of any small car ive ever driven. the shifter is rather clunky as well (not too mention that horrid rubber boot). we all know about the horrible seating position in relation to the steering wheel(easily would be fixed with telescoping wheel). my corolla shifting feel is like butter in comparison, much smoother and easy to find a comfortable position.

a cheap car doesnt have to look and feel so cheap...im holding out hope for the new yaris.
