No one is ever going to pick up a chick on the strength of the Yaris. On the other hand, no one on a budget is going to regret owning one.

But those are two different approaches, from opposite sides, of the transportation spectrum. Mustang equals IMAGE. Yaris is pure transportation.

The Yaris is the Pinto of the current era; except that unlike the Pinto, the Yaris doesn't pretend to quality; it IS quality.

It is what the Pinto would have been had Iacocca really believed in quality small cars.

I think the Yaris is a symbol. A symbol of pure, quality transportation (to use some of your words). Also, CTScott will be able to carry around the gratitude I'm sure his buddy feels in his heart for the rest of his life......and that is priceless.
