Meh, not much more than the Yaris does, really. To me, the Fit (Sport) is a ver nice looking modern Japanese take on a hatchback and th Yaris (LB) is a very nice looking European take on the same thing. And neither look as shapelessly bland or as cheap as the Aero.

Its funny how most not all magazines rag on Toyota products but yet they are the sales leader in most segement or Toyota's sales increase. Like the Yaris is a strong seller of course gas prices help but still, they rag on the Camry yet it is the biggest selling car in N/A as far as mid-size. I also notice there is a cultural bias as well. Meaning European and American magazines have different approaches to certain cars. Europeans are more welcoming of smaller cars and the Americans are more warming to bigger cars, GENERALLY speaking. The ECHO was obviously a "flop" in the U.S. but most owners (myself) included love it! While American magazines (most) ragged on it so much, sure its not the best looking car but its got its quirks. Stupid magazines said the Yaris sedan wasn't sporty enough. Sporty enough!?! WTF!! Its an ECONO car Dumbasses! Sorry I'm starting to get emotional, I better stop! So take things with a fine grain of salt. Obviously we all have our biases.

Motor Trend named the 07 Camry their car of the year.

Car & driver, though, really doesn't seem to like Toyotas very much. They almost univwersally seem to find them boring. Honestly, I kinda agree with them. While I thinkt eh Tacoma, Tundra and RAV-4 stand up pretty well to their competitors, the Yaris is the only Toyota built in the past few years that I would actually be willing to buy.

Of course, I find the Civics and Accords of the world painfully dull, too, where C&D drools all over those.
