And without a doubt, it is one of the coolest FWD Toyotas, I've seen lately.

Kinja'd!!!

It also comes with a manual.

Kinja'd!!!

Toyota should sell this in America, now. It will sell well in places like New York and other big cities.

Toyota did a great job, if you look at what the French did, with the same platform.

It does look pretty cool, but I doubt they'll ever sell it here.

It was posted here earlier today. In my opinion the Toyota is easily the least attractive of the triplets.

That X-shaped grill makes it look ready to defend Mega-City One.

I would be surprised, but you, Europeans think that electronic music is better than rock music, so I am not surprised at all.

The Toyota is definitely the best, but that purple Peugot ain't half bad either...

nope, that's why we got the iQ. I personally love tiny cars, but the iQ is the smallest we'll probably ever get.

It's utterly, utterly hideous, in that modern Toyota way.

Kinja'd!!!

Vive la 108! (No, they haven't announced a GTi. Yes, I - an avowed 106 GTi lover - desperately want them to.)

It looks great! If you want a city car and you're a 16 year old male.

You know that if that had a Toyota badge, everybody would've said that Toyota is still playing safe, that is trying to copy the Germans and all that. Now with the Racer X race, they are bold, they are daring and they are being themselves.

Looks very much like an MG3 to me. I like it though, nicer than the original Aygo.

It's entirely possible to be both bold and tasteful, as Honda proved with the old Civic:

I wouldn't really describe Toyota's latest styling onslaught as them 'being themselves', in any case. It kind of reminds me of what Peugeot did in the early/mid 2000s. Before, they - like Toyota back when they very occasionally built good looking cars - had been known for broadly conservative, but still well-proportioned and attractive designs, like this:

Then...

It all went a bit wrong. Over the last couple of years, they've been trying to backpedal, with cars like the new 208, 308 and 108, but it's proving difficult for them to recapture their former image. There are too many ugly - and just generally shite - mid-2000s Peugeots running about.
