Toyota to show "Hard Kandy" Yaris at SEMA - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Sabretooth · 11-05-2009, 07:41 PM

Well remember when SEMA had the Superman Yaris, then this...I think they really dont know how to do cars anymore, they think cute is hott...and its not,

Give me the same Yaris, and a $5000 budget and I can make it have that visage of an Evo, badass looking where many many people would want to buy it. And it might inspire people to stop modding their cars like crap, making them DubRice and such, as this car clearly shows a prime example of.

It seems that they know in Japan that its a tuner car, but think only 16 year old high school girls drive this thing.

Sad really...

I really want to see a Vitzcup ready turbocharged TRDm at SEMA, decked out in a nice set of track rims, and a Recaro seats...maybe throw on a new hood or something to give it a better look.

That would be nice.

I think since the days of "Pimp My Ride" and "West Coast Customs" they have forgotten that often times in car modding - LESS IS MORE. Simple, subtle mods really pop - a clean paint job with a bit of graphic work (just for extra points), lowered, nice set of wheels, upholstery work, audio system, intake, exhaust system, after market heads/tails/hood .... not obnoxious colors, patterns that confuse your eyes and make your brain hurt, riced out mods and big wings (not used here, but just stating as an example many times played out). I don't know what the hell happened to people and their taste for modding cars, but maybe they need to look within people who actually know what they are doing and know the key components in creating a CLEAN ride.

(Toyota, you obviously suck at this.)

Seriously, if Toyota wanted a slightly mod'd but subtle Yaris, they should have gone with something along the lines of this...

That car is just hideous!

:{ badddddd yaris.

Definately the stock "S" always looks good. But the funny thing is that the car they used is an 09 "S" and they should of kept it simple with better rims and a nice drop.

CtrlAltDefeat · 11-06-2009, 10:22 PM

Should have been closer to this Rockstar xD. It's a little over the top, a little is ok... at least it's not ugly pepto pink...

minired5stby · 11-06-2009, 11:09 PM

I love Scion as well but I'd wish they would treat the Yaris with the same respect. Oh well hopefully next year will be better after they fire the guy who thought pink was in.

YAR1S · 11-10-2009, 05:51 PM

Im liking those xD wheels.....

*tomato* · 12-01-2009, 12:47 PM

OK, I went to the International Auto Show in San Francisco yesterday and I saw the hard candy in person. Let me tell ya: it's pretty bad in person, too!!

There was one other Yaris, 4 dr, dark red/ wine color, not bad, but not great either. I'm a little disappointed, but at least there was one.

Pix to come soon.

Bring on the Wine Yaris tomato

YAR1S · 12-01-2009, 10:54 PM

lol yes bring it on....

*tomato* · 12-02-2009, 01:55 AM

Sorry, I didn't really try to photograph it b/c I didn't notice anything drastically different
That's all I have (with the YarisWorld panda traveler sitting in it and on the bumper).
The color is not bad, a little shocking at first, but it grows on you.
Sure beats the hard candy paint job. I'm shocked at how bizarre it looks in person.

*tomato* · 12-02-2009, 02:30 AM

my mistake, here it is.

TheRealEnth · 12-02-2009, 07:54 AM

i think the cars great.. except for those rims =x... they probaly weigh 90 pounds each ;d

DevilGirl · 12-02-2009, 08:22 AM

I like the "Wine Yaris". I'd rock one of that color!

*tomato* · 12-02-2009, 11:54 AM

The light was terrible in there but I've seen one in person recently, it's really not bad at all. A Yaris Sedan would look great in that color, too.
