The front end is made to look generic, the side view definitely looks like a Yaris 3 dr liftback to me. They probably had to make the cars look generic otherwise they may have had to pay royalties.

Saw the commercial this evening, it's a Yaris modified enough to keep from having to pay Toyota (mainly the nose, the rest is obviously our beloved car!)...
Cheers! M2

They got the headlights right. The ones we got are WAY too large proportionally to the car...

A generic Yaris for sure. It has the front fender turn signals, the way the door line kind of bends in a little, even the little window-lets above the rear view side mirrors. Great find!

Ten years? Mine started to cloud before three!

My headlights still look perfect after 3 years.
Does using one of those buff out kits really work, or is the oxidation within the plastic's makeup and thus the only real solution is a replacement? Plastic lights DO look awful when they cloud over...

I got the Mother's buff-out kit the other day and use it and some of Meguiar's Plastix which took some but not all of the clouding out. It's mostly on the top of the lenses; but being in southcentral Texas and having the car parked outside all day accelerates the hazing.
I've noticed it on all makes and models of cars here, except for vehicles like my Jeep which have sealed-beam glass headlights. We had our 2005 Honda minivan professionally cleaned, and they still started to cloud up about 4-6 months later. I used the same kit on it and it helped but you are never going to get it crystal clear again. Just the price we pay for these kind of lights, I guess... Cheers! M2

^Awesome product! Used it a couple months back and it got all the yellow crud off both my headlights in less than an hour altogether.
Just wish there was a way to park outside without having it come back. Removable clear film maybe?
