Is it just me, or did the Yaris go from a friendly smile on the front to a nasty snarl?

Nasty snarl is better.

Most guys are turned off by a car that is "cute" with a soft smiley face.

Remember though, that the aggressive silver example is only the most sporty model. The standard model is still on the cute side although less so than the current generation.

Yeah, every girl who sees our car says it's "cute". A friend of mine saw it for the first time the other day and said, "I could pick that car up with one arm!" He probably could. :/

I'm not a fan of relocating rear numberplate placement onto the bootlid, just seems to common. On a side note maybe the moderators could change the title to reflect the nature that actual real JDM photos are in here to gauge more public opinion?
Oh yeah, I actually hadn't noticed the plate location change. Personally, I don't mind either way. I think it's just an effort to visually break up the wide open space on the hatch.
