I agree. I'm not a fan of the styling of any of the vehicles that you mentioned above. The 2015/2016 Yaris SE trim, on the hand, actually has the styling and features that I like/wanted - minus unwanted tech bloat like backup camera, lane assist, etc (which stopped me from wanting/buying an Acura ILX). As one YouTube reviewer stated, the 2015/2016 Yaris SE is an economy car that doesn't look or feel like an economy car. I also like that I don't see the Yaris (especially the SE) everywhere, like with the Corolla, Civic, Fit, etc. In fact, I have only seen 2-3 of them on the road TOTAL in my area since they hit the market in late 2014. Most of the L/LE that I see (also a rare sighting out here) are probably rental/fleet vehicles, more often than not.

If I could change/add certain features to my SE, it would be the following:
- Add another 25-30 factory horsepower to round it out properly with its other features and styling.
- Add the factory side-mirror turn-signals like found in other markets for the Yaris/Vitz.
- Add the factory upgraded climate-control dash setup like found in other markets for the Yaris/Vitz.

I would have gladly paid more for those features, and Toyota should better differentiate trim-levels with things like this.

I also would have seriously considered the Yaris Hybrid if they offered it in the USA. Much nicer looking car than the homely/odd Prius and Prius-C.
