f**k eh! I'd have my colon cleaned to get that car...well, not quite but you get the point :grin: I've never seen that car anywhere on the net. Is this for real or a concept?
i thought you'd like it since you expressed so much interest for the Vitz. dunno if concept or not... but it look pretty "production" to me. may have to do more research.
but yes... i like it too. :smile:
just came across it as i was searching for some Toyota wallpaper :razz:
looks like it's a concept.

What is it?
Toyota Yaris Cabrio Concept
What's special about it?
Yaris? What's that? Those living in America know it as the Toyota Echo. Same car, just a different name. The Echo debuted in 2000 as a new subcompact offering impressive interior space, good fuel economy and decent performance. At the Geneva Auto Show, Toyota showed a convertible concept of this vehicle. The Yaris Cabrio is longer and lower than its hatchback sister, but width, track and other mechanical dimensions remain unchanged. The interior is more sporting, featuring such items as a three-spoke steering wheel, two-tone trim, aluminum pedals, and an aluminum shift knob.
Why should you care?
Toyota displayed a Celica Convertible Concept vehicle at this year's L.A. Auto Show. Now there is the Yaris Cabrio Concept. It would seem Toyota is serious about offering an affordable convertible one way or the other. Celica Convertible or Echo Cabrio? Which one do you want? Toyota says public reaction to the Yaris Cabrio concept will influence the decision on whether to build it or not.
***TOYOTA YARIS CABRIO concept***
Toyota has made a concept two-door convertible of the subcompact Toyota Echo in the Yaris (as the Echo is called in Europe--its Japanese home-market name is Vitz) Cabrio. We believe the Yaris is intended for production, the Cabrio concept rides on 15-inch alloy wheels and low-profile tires, with four-wheel disc brakes. The Cabrio is a bit longer and lower than the Yaris hatchback, but most other exterior dimensions have not changed. The Cabrio interior features include aluminum pedals and gearshift lever, three-spoke sport steering wheel and cloth bucket seats.
