When I first saw the '07 LB I wanted one. The new one has some improvements like more room and quietness but the new interior and exterior styling doesn't make me want one. Also the loss of the dash storage compartments and clever drink cooling and heating cup holders is a big loss. I also prefer the unique Prius like center Dash configuration that's easier to use than the one in the Mini. Sure the plastics of my car look cheaper but the dash wasn't cheap to design like some think. The new dash is unimaginative and boring. That's just my take on it. No doubt some will like these better.

It's more refind,quieter,smoother.
My trade was a 93 Paseo w/200 k.
The color is blue lagoon mica,3 dr LE,I tinted the windows,installed
in-channel visors,and 15"sport ed cd's. The stock wheels and caps are
for sale. I will also install SE front and rear bumper covers with fogs,
or find a good aftermarket replacements.
This will be the last new car I'll ever own. I've had around 400 cars in my life
a 25 model t, a 59 fiat 500,a 72 gremlin,78 subaru brat,7 vw bugs,myers manx
dune buggy,a 53 buick,a 54 chevy,a 67 chevy short wheel base van,a 01 mb
commpressor conv.,a 86 cabriolet,
and on, and on.
I am jealous. The Paseo was/is still a very good-looking little coupe. To hell with what anyone says to me. It looks especially good with the sunroof and manual transmission. Just a clean, simple design. Great taste, man.

Those other cars are also awesome.

I adore everything about the new design.

I wanted that indestructible, proven, and economical drivetrain in a new, stylish hatchback with a sportier interior...and I got it! Thank you, Toyota!

This would have been nice, also. But so far, the rear drums haven't given me any issues. Even while in the rain.
