Spy Photos: 2012 Yaris next to current Yaris (size comparison)

[tomato]

OOooooooo, nice pics!!!!

It's just like Christmas ... Somebody please unwrap this car !!!

I have to say, though, I don't like the idea of a longer Yaris. 10 cm isn't much but sometimes that's all you need to squeeze into a parking spot.

I like the wheels at least.

+1

I do a lot of congested city driving and there's been times where I had to struggle to get my Yaris out of a parallel parking spot.

Could be standard, but we can't count on it. Personally, I don't mind having the longer lasting drums out back. Remember, markets outside of the US already have rear discs, and of course this tester is probably in Japan.

They should take the wraps off. Toyota has to know that the new Yaris has already leaked onto the entire web a month ago.

As far as size, the 10 cm shouldn't make it "too big". I think people will appreciate the extra space and stability/ride quality. It's supposed to be wider as well. So it should definitely be more proportional being lower and wider.

Of course, we'll see the usually steelies/wheel covers on base cars. Maybe these will be the alloy option.

that's the 2nd gen yaris the new one is compared against with...

I own a 1st gen, and I wish it was a bit narrower lol

btw, like the new one, kind of reminds me of a mazda 2

Not here, in Australia we get rear drums on the Yaris :(

Yeah, I meant to say some markets get rear discs, but not all.

Nothing reverse parking sensors cant fix. I had them installed and it even has a screen telling you in cm/in how far you can reverse before your gonna hit something.
