SPEEDO Question - Toyota Yaris Forums

Just to add my two cents, it does not make any difference to me whether it were angled toward me or not. The display is rather large and simple to read. I agree it probably has something to do with the Japanese markets right hand drive orientation and Toyota not having to make different dashes. As pointed out the Echo angled its center pod towards the driver and so does the Saturn Ion.

In the old Echo (the Yaris's precesessor), the center-mounted dash gauges WERE actually angled towards the driver.

Personally, I think the look is cleaner facing straight back. I like it better.

Doesnt make a difference to me driving wise. I test drove a Echo before I test drove my Yaris before I bought it. Made no reason difference to me, save for that I like the Yaris's gauges position and shape better.
