Hey all of you who compare the new to old, don't!
The old Yaris is over 6 yrs old. As good and as popular as it is, it's way overdue for a redesign.

What would you do different about a new Yaris without departing too far from, well, Yaris...

IMO it looks like a logical continuation of a Yaris line and it sounds like it's safer, bigger inside and hopefully keeps the good fuel economy of an older Yaris. At last, this one might be able to compete with the Fit (cargo capacity had to increase to start with).

The interior is more traditional, more popular, and has been wanted by most consumers (if you read most Yaris reviews, the center stacked instrument cluster has always been criticized).

I dont see any issues with the Versa similarities either. For one thing, it's not all that similar and it's not entirely a bad thing either - it's a Toyota after all, and don't forget that. Most modern cars have a lot of similarities across the model lines.

I hope they return the yellow color option, and if it drives well and delivers Fit compatible fuel economy, I might just seriously consider it.
