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.

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.

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.
