Nice. Not diggin the name of the car since it sounds like it gives reference to a movie..

That's the Toyota Auris. The North American version gets a shitty name I see...

I saw many of these in Bulgaria (eastern Europe). They are well proportioned, and I like the exterior design.

The dash-mounted shifter makes think of the Civic Si, which in turns makes me

The V6 version will be more of a challenger to the Mazdaspeed 3

It's one spiffy looking car

That has to be one quick car, i'm really digging the paddle shifters.

They never sell anything good in the USA

As mentioned on MotorTrend, unless this car is RWD or AWD...280hp will be useless and there will be a lot of wheelslip.

Totally agree with you. Even on the Camry (which weighs several hundred kilos more), the 1st gear is unusable on the V6 models due to the wheelspin.

LOL basically can you imagine a heavy Yaris with 268hp?
