Do you think the 09 LB S is ugly?
I really dislike the front lip and the weird dent in the headlights by the hood. The car is round all over except the bizarre corners they put on the lip... It just doesn't look right to me. I'm glad I got an 08 non-S. (the body kit and few extras that came with the S version didn't seem worth the price) Any ways, I was just curious what you guys thought...

I am not a fan of that color, but I think the main problem I have with it in the US, is that it is just a cosmetic upgrade. For the extra coin it would be nice to get one of the larger engines that they put in the Yarii in other parts of the world. They don't do it here because they don't want it to stomp on the Scion sales . . . .

I'm a proud owner of the 09 lb S and what more can I say :) Things could be better
but that's what aftermarket parts are for. |

I like how the creases on the hood of the '06-'08 continue down the bumper and warp around the lower grille (almost the way Audi does it). They should've kept that going along with the large fog light openings of the '09. I also agree a larger engine should've been standard, along with OEM alloys and TRD springs. MT should've also been an option. It would've cost a little less and been more fun to drive IMO

Having owned an 07, and now having an 09, i have t osa yi preferred the front on the 07. But.... I look at the 09 now and it really grows on you. My real beef is with the little "bumper strips" on the corners, and fugly inserts if you don't have the foglamps.
As for the "S" version? Stupid to not have a MT (hadn't realised that one wasn't available), especailly since the only difference is cosmetic and weight (the extra weight of the cosmetic parts) that make it SLOWER than the "non-sport" version. Duh! |

I think the Yaris ceases to be a "good deal" when too many expensive and often useless options are added. It's bad enough that the S package is only cosmetic but even then according to Toyota's website it doesn't include standard powerwindows or locks or a 60/40 backseat or cruise control and just forget about a sunroof. The S doesn't deliver even for a fluff package.

No, I don't think it's ugly at all.
I wish they'd let us have the 1.8 L in the US. The scion *is* ugly to me, no offense. |

This facelifted model is only just available here and I saw one in person a couple days back, to be honest I think it looks not too bad!

I voted "So-so."
I like the simple design of the Yaris, and this sort of goes against it.

I'm so-so on the '09s as well. What I liked about the '06-'08 styling was that it was different than anything else in the Toyota line-up. Now the front-ends of the Yaris, Corolla, and Matrix are all starting to look alike.

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