You are on a zombie thread war path right now, and I'm not even mad about it.

True. Or an angry deep sea fish. I don't know what the designers thought they were doing.

I always thought the front end looked like this:

The 2015/2016 refresh reminds me more of the original Battlestar Galactica Cylon helmet:

Don't anyone take my styling comments seriously. I have a hell of an imagination. Just having fun.

As you should

Like I said, I for one am not upset about seeing all these old posts revived. I wouldn't hold my breath for responses from OP's, but it might spark conversation with others.

IMHO the 2012-2014 Yaris is the best looking one. Wasn't overly enamored with the 2nd gen design and hate the 2015+ 3rd gen refresh.

"IMHO the 2012-2014 Yaris is the best looking one."

I agree. I did own a Mk 2 and quite liked the exterior styling. I loved the centre instrument cluster.
I now have the Mk 3, pre "faclift" and would not buy the latest incarnation because of the (my opinion) grotesque front. It looks like a damn basking shark on the prowl!

Hahaha! Yeah that looks like it too. Personally, I like the fascia. I just wish they painted the whole lower lip so it didn't look like the car has a Fu Man Chu mustache.
