johnnyfive · 08-02-2006, 01:36 AM

best thing i heard was "is that car that when you buy it you get another little toy car with it?" (refering to the yaris and yaris comercial)

after typing that it isnt very funny, but i definetly thought it was...maybe i typed it wrong...lol

I have once been asked if my car was a "Smart"

.
This morning, I saw an SLK on the road, the car was cute and so I took a good look at it, only to find that the SLK's driver was staring at my Yaris with his eyes wide open. He looked so amazed

As I was walking away from my cousin's house one time, her kids asked their dad if my HONDA ELEMENT was a smart car!

Same here. Then when you tell them it's not, but it still gets around 40 MPG, they really start to freak.

Whats wrong with the GF?

Buckethead · 08-02-2006, 04:48 PM

Yeah, get another girlfriend.

boxerboy · 08-02-2006, 05:06 AM

The hybrid question is the one I get the most and whats the mileage.

swng · 08-02-2006, 06:47 PM

Yes, I have been asked several times if my car was a hybrid too!

Violin · 08-03-2006, 09:17 AM

I wonder about people who need external validation for everything. Sorry about your thingy.

To me, the Yaris HB is a great looking car that is fun to drive, easy on the wallet and reduces my environmental footprint. If it’s not for everyone, there are a lot of other cars out there.

Several people thought it was a hybrid (it does look a little like a Prius from the front). My brother-in-law asked when I was getting the rest of the car. I’ve had several strangers come up and ask me how I like it as they are thinking of buying one. I do get a lot of looks with it. The last car I had that turned so many heads was my 1985 special edition RX-7. This one is a lot cheaper to own.

seriousfun · 08-03-2006, 10:28 AM

I was completely invisible driving my last car - a white Dodge Grand Caravan.

Now, I get looks and smiles! People driving 7xx Benzies stop me and ask what my mileage is! My girlfriend loves it! I swear that I can read lips backwards - I see people behind me saying "that's one of those new Toyotas."

H2XcapePod · 09-05-2006, 08:26 PM

I don't get nearly as many looks as I did with my Stratus(debadged, srt4 wheels, painted headlights), or maybe I just don't notice them. I have been stopped a few times walking away from it and gotten compliments and questions though. To this date I've only come across two haters, both friends of mine. Evidently they think it bears a striking resemblance to Steve Urkel's car.

Here a new one. Today, my friend's mom described it as a ball of sushi (basically the sushi rice without the topping).

I have the standard Sedan with shaved badges and I too got the corolla thing. I laughed in their face and told them they were not worthy of knowing what it truly was.

Ive been told that mine looks like a dinosaur head as well...

bpreston · 08-28-2006, 08:10 PM

I have never been so stared at since I bought my Yaris. The thing is a conversation piece. I have not seen another HB around in the northeast Phoenix / Scottsdale area. So, I see a lot of turning heads.

One guy said, "Hey, do you take that thing inside at night?".

I replied, "Yep, and hang it up."

St.Francis · 08-28-2006, 10:38 PM

at work they call mine a 'pedal car'
