Do you think the 09 LB S is ugly? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

wooverstone8 · 04-16-2009, 03:27 PM

The 09 Yaris “S” looks more like a mini Matrix IMO, but I prefer the looks of the 07-08 Yaris “S” though.

I do like the looks of the 09 Yaris BASE Liftback compared to the 07-08 Liftback.

I'm not so hot on the new base either. The lights of course look funky and those weird bumps under the headlights are ugly. The opening under the T symbol looks ok, but the vents and fogs underneath look tacked on, like they wanted to make it look more like a matrix but the body of the yaris doesn't work with that design, so they mushed the face to make it fit...

I definitely agree that the '09 looks better... BTW, I was parked next to an 07 (I think) at the library the other day and was comparing them and noticed that the 07 had purple spots on the seats and door panels... was that the stock color? Yuck!

Yes, the pre-09 ones came with blue flecks of colour in the seats and door panels (hatchbacks only AFAIK)

The new 09s have silvery flecks now, right?

Im on the fence about which i like better... dont mind either. Adds some colour and interest to the interior i think.

I guess you could call it silver. Whatever it is, it's much more subtle than the older color, which I absolutely couldn't stand.

I like the Matrix, too, I think she's sexy. She was a real close second on my car shopping list.

tetzyamis · 04-16-2009, 04:34 PM

I like 07-08 look better also, but still love 09 :)

brody9981 · 04-16-2009, 07:55 PM

Did I read that right in an earlier post? Do they not offer an 09 LB "S" with a manual tranny? My 08 "S" is a manual.....

My '09 "S" LB is a MT - don't know where that info came from. And the interior is a nice upgrade also - tach, leather-wrapped wheel and shift knob and different fabric.

It's a stylish step backwards but not horrible.

brody9981 · 04-16-2009, 05:54 PM

I have an 08 LB "S" in polar white.....like the look of the 08 better. But remember, the "S" package (at least in 08) is not just cosmetic exterior. The interior is different, not just by appearance, the front seats are shaped different and IMO are more comfortable, you also get a tach. I love my "S" and don't regret my purchase for a second! A little extra coin is worth the "fluff" in my opinion. Seeing that some paid around 14k for their non "S" liftback, it literally was just a little extra coin for me!

frownonfun · 04-16-2009, 08:48 PM

now i wouldn't mind if toyota shared one of the matrix colors with the yaris...

evil genius · 04-16-2009, 09:05 PM

I Don't care too much for the bottom of the front bumper on the 09 but I'm glad it doesn't have the 08 back bumper. Overall, I like my 09.

Frownonfun - I wanted that color too.
