The new one looks like it has a more confident stance.

Great!
Waiting with anticipation for your review.
Can you find out how much cargo space there is in square feet with the rear seats folded down please?

Not a smooth move on Toyota's part. Having the headrests able to tuck into the seat really helped out with rear visibility, I think.

Only downside is that it doesn't slide forward and fold flat like the second gens....right?

Seems like many great little features have been cancelled on the new Yaris (the sliding rear seat, the headrests, the center gauges)... Too bad.

From cult car (2006-2011) to generic econobox (2012). Pity.

The previous generation Vitz is certainly an econobox, but definitely not generic; it has a quirky unique character... and all the makings of a cult car... much like the Beetle, Mini, and now the Fiat 500. Pity, Toyota failed to recognize this and rather than make minor design changes and improvements instead chose to completely redesign the car to look like everything else on the road.
