Saw the Yaris ad in the paper today so me and my pardner went to test drive it. The car aint half bad...actually it pretty good. The basic at Toyota is $115 k and the fully loaded is $132K coming with 15" rims, spoiler, 8 airbags, fogs VVTI 1.3 engine (doh worry de car light) AND factory flair...looking real good plus de speedometer goes up to 200 km... Cool

The car accelerated pretty good for the specs and cornered nice too, only thing is the headroom in the back but everything else on de car right up. Its a big improvement from the last.

saw it in the showroom.........Yaris has hit the big-league. Its almost the size of the corolla now! The 1.3 VVTi hatch looks like a screamer. Has some nice ergo features as well............and what was interestiung to me was how much space there is in the engine bay!!!!!

^^^ ent

but still, I think the Yaris looks good now, almost mini-camry like.

Can you imagine the price for the Evo X if it ever comes at all?

If the yaris is soo big now.....i wonder what they hell they gonna do for the 2007 Corolla?? Looks like a reaction to the way the civic evolved to compete in a larger car segment.

Yeh Toyota trying to lock down all ranges...actually there is a 1.5 Yaris...however it will not be available here beacause it would compete with the corolla.

the speedo goes up to 200 but does it actually go up to 200? a 1.3 could do that?

^would be surprised wha them DOHC 1.3 vvti toyota engines can do in that light car
i got ah lixx from a 2005 yaris and it wasn't to nice Rolling Eyes

so the vvti maks the difference...but would any after market management products on engines that dont have vvti,vvl, etc close or even up the advantage that these engines have?
