Toyota Aygo

[mryaris]

I really like the iQ too, but the lack of a manual transmission is the reason why one isn't in my driveway.

I had to Google the Aygo since I have never heard of it.....can't say I'd line up to buy one. I don't care for the styling at all.

That's exactly why I wasn't interested in the IQ. No manual is an absolute deal breaker. I currently drive a 13 Avalon Limited, and while it is cushy and nice, I absolutely miss the manual. That's why next year(if Mazda hasn't got their hands on the Yaris) I am gonna likely buy a 16 Yaris SE. Kinda liked the blue, but now I am much more partial to the white. The other half thinks I am gonna be so unhappy going from a Avalon to a Yaris. I completely welcome the change. Always loved small hatches. I'm not nearly as fancy as I thought I was when I bought the Avalon. The Avalon is so boring. My first car was a 91 Festiva. Me and my my dad worked on that together. That's how I got my love for small hatchbacks.

IMO, the current SE looks great in white with a black interior....except for the wheels (same for other colors)....but the wheels, of course, can always be changed at any time.

Last fall went in to a local dealer to buy 2 new 2015s (Rav4 for wife, Camry for MIL) and saw a silver IQ. Salesman said he would give me an unbelievable deal on it but when I asked about a manual trans that was the end of it. I explained I had a 2010 Yaris that was a manual and would never even consider an auto. Bill C
