What car will you have in the future a year to 10 years from now?

I really like the idea of trying a hybrid subcompact/compact vehicle, but just can't stand the U.S. market hybrid offerings. On the Toyota front, the Prius line is just an abomination to look at, and the upcoming 2020 Corolla hybrid is an eyesore as well (IMO). Also not a fan of the bloated-looking 'unibrow' new Honda Insight 'fastback' sedan. The refreshed, facelifted 2020 KIA Niro that was unveiled recently at a European auto show looks pretty decent (for a quasi-crossover anyway), but I doubt that version will make it to the U.S. market intact, and I'm still not sure if I want to take a chance on the KIA brand as of yet.

The most likely scenario for me still is that I will track-down & pick-up a unicorn-rare low-mileage 2018 Yaris SE hatch (automatic) in a few years. I know that it will be trustworthy/dependable, I know what to expect from it, & it will be joyfully lacking in both a CVT and GDI and/or Turbo engine. The styling has even grown on me since its debut, just like it did for the 2015 version. I know that I am the minority around here, in that regard.

That's a good plan!

The Toyota dealer here on Oahu has actually still has two new 2018 Yaris SE's. Everything moves way slower here than on the mainland. Kind of a hard sell since they are selling the 2020 Corolla for less.

In 10 years... probably an electric hatchback of some kind. Preferably made by Toyota. We test drove a Chevy Bolt a few months ago but my wife hated the quality of the materials (cheap looking plastics, interior design, etc).
