1. Eskimo is the brandname they use in the czech republic, slovenia, croatia and austria (it's "ola" in belgium and it appears to be "miko" in france) 2. I found out they use light blue license plates in some cases (but it was with yellow characters then...) 3. Since 2005 they also have a toyota factory where they make the aygo

Yeah, I don't know about France. This could be anywhere in Europe, in fact the shape of the plates is definitely European, but Eskimo is probably distributed all over Europe.
Some of the comments (and the thumbs up on them) on that website are nauseating, btw. I just don't get people who hate cars that much |

Obviously an early test mule, so nothing can be concluded as to the looks of the new Yaris.
However, it looks like it's hauling something heavy and there has been talk of a hybrid Yaris (maybe even fully electric?)... |

Yes, you can.
But do you really want that? Anyway, on topic: I don't really understand why they would make the yaris bigger? If you want a bigger yaris, you buy an auris.

Which isn't available in America. Corolla is the next size up. But I agree, Toyota please don't make the Yaris bigger except maybe an inch wider. I'm confident they won't grow it though.

I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't a test car at all and that it's actually a sedan that was rear ended and the owner got creative with a hatch rear end.

Looks like someone pasted the front and rear of a hatch onto a sedan. It's god awful looking...

It's a mule test vehicle is why it looks so bad. They're testing brakes and other stuff that goes under sheet metal n plastic.

Yeah, most the amount of BS on the interwebs makes me paranoid of shops, but it's gotta be real!

Hm it almost looks like they chopped the back of a sedan off and put the back end of a hatch on there from the roofline.
Really it would be nice if toyota came out with a true sport version, something with some boost, tuning, and a sweet suspension. |

2012 Yaris Discussion
With all the recent speculation, here it is officially. You can see it receiving some of the latest Toyota themed front end shapes. However, based on these pics, I'm not too excited about the boxier rest of the car. Unfortunately, the cabin shape and rear pillar reminds me of the Versa. We'll have to wait for the complete unmasking for full judging.
