i dont like the campaign "its's a car".

The huge manual in that video is pretty funny. "Round wheels, much better than square wheels"

Thanks Rockland. You know, that's the first 3-door version I've seen.

Yeah, it's right up there with the ads for the then-new Neon.



"It's a Car!"? What's Toyota thinking?

Yeah, "It's a Car!" is the silliest campaign slogan I've seen in a while.


Comes across as, "we know most of the public wouldn't consider this to be a real car (common stereotype of sub-compacts), but it is indeed a car". That's not how you want to sell a car.

I've always wondered how many burritos I can fit in my glove box!

Off to Taco Bell I go.

imo, its better in every way than the current yaris, other than the powertrain being the same.

problem is, the competition is even better in this segment than when the current yaris debuted.

So they just get us used to where the speedo didn't used to belong, and now they move it back to where it no longer belongs!
