TopGear - Hating the Yaris

Well, I'm not a huge fan of that Yaris either. But I definitely don't agree with them as far as the stock Yaris goes. I love the way it looks, handles, and costs. IMHO, all we need is a bit more ponies under the hood, and we should be a very happy bunch indeed.
Welcome to the forums!

Sorry guys- the car was also at the NY Auto show last March, it's been around a while. I also have to say, it looks a lot better in person. I'd love to drive it- 166 bhp!

What are they talking about when they said, "Unveiled at the SEMA show?" I saw that Yaris in January at the Chicago International Auto Show. I thought it looked awesome in person and to answer the last question they asked, yes, I would like to drive it. :)

It's cool to look at, just like a lot of concepts are. Neeeeever do it to my own though even if money wasn't an option. I think i'd drive Garms before that just because a lot of the additional power in the concept might be ruined by the topless affect. Plus YW FTW, bring it on Yaris Club!

Personally, I think they should have cut it off behind the top of the windshield; hacking off the posts half-way up makes it look like a backyard job...
