Yaris Liftback vs. Yaris Sedan

[St_G]

The sedan, while much less awkward looking than the old Echo, doesn't offer any visual appeal beyond the aging design of the current Corolla. Even in S trim, it's a little dull. I'm honeslty not sure why Toyota didn't just tart up the amenities on it a bit and sell it as a new Corolla here. They would seem aimed at such similar tastes, and their price points are already pretty close to each other...

in this forum, expect users to say LB. shit, i say LB. but in the streets, i see 3 sedans to every LB. thats cool, makes the Lbs more rare... in a few years, we can call them "limited editions"...

in a sense, it kinda IS the new corolla. before, peoples first new cars were civics and corollas. but the with the re-designs (corolla's is coming soon), those two models have changed their target audience. they've gotten better, but pricier. nowadays, peoples first new cars will be fits and yarii, the NEO-civic and NEO-corolla...

ps: its crazy but we see trend this even in the aftermarket business. the civic had a ton of stuff, while the corolla had jack. same trend with the fit (plenty) and yaris (few)...
