To keep up with the rivals, the Yaris doesn't need a stiffer frame. It's already very good. What it needs is some actual damn power in it and sportier suspension. If the Mazda 2 can still be comfortable and yet sporty, fun to drive...than Toyota needs to quit making vanilla cars and get back in the game.
Saw a really nice condition Toyota Mr2 Mk2 a few hours ago when I went to get lunch. I got really excited when I saw it but at the same time made me a little bit sad because I realized Toyota makes nothing fun or sports oriented anymore. So sad that a company who used to be dominant in motor sports has turned into a company of tree hugger ideals with extremely mild designs, while their rivals still continue to create sports cars and sports car inspired vehicles.

That interior is just fail, fail and fail. Everything looks wrong.

How come every time a new 2012 Yaris thread is posted, all the comments suggest that it's the first time that each poster has seen the car?
This car was introduced with tons of coverage/threads way back in August of last year.

It's quite simple guy's and girls , it's a car not a fashion statement . it's made to go From A-B in realative comfort and a shit load more fuel economy that the current Yaris , if you dont like it dont buy it . but dont complain about the next to no fuel economy of your Yank Tanks

HELLO, it's the OPTIONAL 1.3L engine available in the other markets. I'm sure they will continue to offer the completely dull and boring 1NZ-FE in the US market (and others as well). For much of the world though, the 94HP from the 1.3L is adequate. I know here in Thailand (where speed enforcement is near non-existent), it's very hard to find a suitable road to safely exceed 140KPH, which is when the lack of power starts to show. When I was in the USA, I could flat out hold down the accelerator for hours on end without any problems controlling the car. Even in other cars, I would often cruise at triple digit speeds (with a good radar detector, clear road conditions, and long straight road). Unfortunately, for long distance driving, it's actually slower to do so, as you have to make more gas stops.
And yes, the new interior sucks.

the renderings of the vios are similar just as a sedan and let me tell you that I truly feel the car looks FUBAR all around. They have lost their original styling.

Just figured that since the 3rd generation forum has somewhere over 32,000 views, most people would be aware of it. It's been posted 100's of times, the first of which was Oct. 2 of last year, 6 months ago! http://yarisworld.com/forums/showpos...1&postcount=76

So if something monumental in the world of Yari happens next fall/winter, I'll expect a pm from you so I don't miss out. Ok?

Well, these are new pictures and information on the 2012 Yaris, so I think it's fair game to comment on them!
 I for one would never consider buying this car. If anything (God forbid) were to happen to my 2008, I would look for a new or slightly used 2011 or newer hatch, or something else, before I would consider the redesigned Yaris. It has lost everything I love about the car, the looks, the center-mounted instruments (which I wish were on all my vehicles!), everything! And I believe that has been the general consensus amongst owners on this site. Toyota has made it resemble the Matrix too much, and that has taken away from the uniqueness of the Yaris. Even the new competition--the Mazada 2 and Ford Fiesta--are distinctly different (and uglier in my opinion) than the current model Yaris. Sorry Toyota, you're probably going to lose much of a small but dedicated fan base when the 2012 Yaris shows up at dealers...  Cheers! M2
