I just saw that Yahoo article.
Can't say I agree with the Yaris pick, but many of the others on the list belonged there. |

It's not the name that counts, but the qualities of the car. They're just jealous...

They chose Yaris because Fit-Spanker was too long of a name.
Madmax, perfect example using Charis Boyle
