No Kidding! Green, Yellow, Orange...what is with the B O R I N G car colors the past freakin' decade?

Was searching online and found a bunch of 2015's through this site:

http://southeast.buyatoyota.com/yaris

They show a 2014 Red 3 Door Yaris L (like my 2013) & a 2015 White 3 Door Yaris LE - good view of the new front end. I love mine still, it's getting that 'Vintage Older Model' look to it ...

The look and profile of those rear taillights (and bumper in general) is vastly improved in the newer 2015 model. The front headlights and bumper is also a big improvement in styling. I'm thinking that the 2015 Yaris will easily be the best looking car in its class, overall - and much nicer looking than the awful-styled and cheap-looking new Corolla.

the front of the 15 looks like it belongs on an entirely different car....and the chrome makes this giant "x". it just overwhelms the rest of the car.

it reminds me of a car (the name of which I wont utter) where it looks like designers of two different cars slapped it all together and called it a refresh.

the interior, at least what had been previously been shown, looks to be a slight improvement. however, the front grill and bumper treatment is a big mess, imo. they should have saved it for when the next generation comes around and the rest of the sheet metal was changed.

No manual trans on their first boat.

What's a dealer fee?

I would imagine manuals will be few and far between...
Dealer fee, not sure what it includes, to me
it's always been perceived as a way for them to
charge more.

A dealer fee is theft. They claim it is to cover paperwork, but it really is not necessary. Same thing for the destination charge. Flat out theft.

I'll have to look for a rear view...I can see from these photos it is different...
Front end is growing on me...I'm happy (Very) with my 2013 L - especially the crank windows!

Part of the appeal of possibly buying a 2007-2011 Yaris (instead of a 2015), for me, is that it will easier to find a manual transmission (and I can get crank windows with that). Plus, I do like the basic, curvy "bubble" styling of those years a lot also.

The bubble, egg shape as some say, looks great. I (sort of) like that body style better, yet we wanted to buy brand new, so the 2013's were out and that's what I got. Like the DASHBOARD layout much better, so that is a PLUS for me.
If I found a deal on an older 2 door Yaris no matter what transmission or color, I'd get it. Wouldn't mind having a 2nd one

This 2015 grille work doesn't look as outrageous:

Oh gawd,r ed and white cars, the white car doesn't highlight the new look and the red is horrible, my Yaris more aggressive looking then either of those.

It's not like I had a lot of colors to choose from. I wanted a white one, but the last vehicle was white so I was 'pushed' towards Absolute Red - If Toyota offered Banana Yellow, Hugger Orange, British Racing Green Opaque & a Dark Brown Opaque (all with black interiors) I would have ended up buying 4 of them

Seriously Yaris color choices are horrible. You have a choice of white, red, silver, gray, black, blue, Blue & BLUE

My first car I bought with my own money was yellow. I got it for the exact amount credited for the trade in as a favor to my dad. I could have sold it right away for a profit...but I kept it through the end of high school. It wasn't a car that should ever have been manufactured in yellow. VERY few cars (and zero current Toyota models, IMO) look good in yellow. The de tomaso Pantera, de tomaso Mangusta, Saleen S7, Vector W2, and some Ferraris and Lamborghinis come to mind as examples of cars that, IMO, look good in yellow.

^^^^^ 'all with black interiors' deserves as many thumbs up as 'hand crank windows' .

There are so many boring colors of late, miss the OLD days when there was a choice of 12-20 colors for every car.
Yellow is associated with "lemon" with a lot of people, seeing a yellow Pinto or Vega comes to mind...
To me, having a reliable car in yellow is a different story. Always liked flashy colors on cars. Love the light yellow Yaris color on the 2nd gens.
Yes, Black goes with all colors, too. It's just timeless.

There is a small group of people who like the brighter candy colors, particularly fans of small cars. Largely though, people prefer sedated colors - silver, white, grey, black...

Part of it is resale value. The basic colors I mentioned means an easier sell down the road and for more money. Selling a bright yellow or lime green used car is going to be a challenge.
