2012 Toyota Yaris

The launch of this third generation Yaris adds a new chapter to the model's ongoing European success story. Over the last decade, the Yaris has consistently enjoyed a segment share of more than 5%. It has been a strong contributor to the increase in Toyota sales throughout Europe, boosting the brand image and becoming a key pillar of the company's European manufacturing operations.
The new Yaris will compete in the B-segment which --with a 26% share of the total market, equating to some 4 million sales per annum-- remains the most important sales arena of the European automotive market. This segment is currently dominated by petrol- engined vehicles, which represent more than two thirds of the mix.

Over the last few years, fragmentation has accelerated within the B-segment, due to the introduction of an increasing diversity of new model types such as the SUV and B-MPV. Nonetheless, representing 50% of total sales, the hatchback remains the segment's most important, and best-selling, bodystyle.
With the continued increase in fuel costs and CO2 taxation levels instigating downsizing by customers from other segments, B-segment sales are expected to remain stable in the immediate future.
The second generation Yaris is praised for its interior roominess, durability, versatility, engine efficiency and ease of driving in the urban environment. The new Yaris will consolidate all the strengths of the previous generation vehicle, while offering a more dynamic and sophisticated design execution, a clear step-up in sensory quality, a segment breakthrough in affordable multimedia connectivity, efficient powertrains, innovative transmission and the greater agility essential to urban driving.
Quality will remain a key Yaris attribute. Further improving the built-in quality recently praised in the German 2011 TüV report, Toyota Motor Manufacturing France's close involvement with suppliers from the very earliest stages of production will ensure that every component contributes to the overall quality of
the vehicle.
Positioned at the heart of the B-segment, the new Yaris delivers an ingenious combination of benefits. It meets the demands of both progressive, technology-focused customers and more conventional users who place an emphasis on quality, practicality and, of course, value for money.

The outgoing model was awful. I loathed it with a passion. It was arguably one of the ugliest designs ever. The new model? Much better. It actually has a personality! It looks spunky and fun. I like the interior too. Finally, Toyota has built a car worth considering.

Look very much like a bloated version of the current Yaris Sedan. Equally awful. Combined with the large piece panoramic roof similar to Peugeot, I'm not sure what about Yaris-ness was in mentioned.

Consumer rpts never recommended this car . Latest model still gets old 4 speed auto!! The new 2012 Kia Rio will eat this car alive!! 6 speed automatic! & epa 40 mpg - not with Yaris!!

HOWEVER IF YOU WANT A 2 DOOR SUBCOMPACT IN USA - THIS IS THE LAST ONE. I've driven this & the 1971 ford pinto with 4 speed, high compression, konis, racing headers - much more fun car - cost new in 1971? $1995!!! HOW COME IN THE PINTO YOU COULD GET POP UP REAR SIDE WINDOWS? NOT HERE IN THE 2 DOOR !!
