What is that sedan on top left corner?

Looks real nice, hope it will come to the US.

That's the new Yaris Sedan...It was talked about in the SEMA Yaris Hatchback launch...It's also known as the Belta in other markets...

Did they show it in SEMA?

Looks like an Echo, Corolla, Prius and Yaris had some freaky childern.

[toyotaholic]

next corolla?

It's not the Corolla, it's the Belta as echo_hrs said.

Compare that and the Yaris on the right. They both have bumpers that come up to the headlights and the same hood size. They also have the same wheels.

It is the new Yaris Sedan (aka Belta)...

I watched the SEMA official launch of the Yaris Hatchback and RAV4, and in the presentation, the speaker talked about the official unveiling of the Yaris Sedan in January, and showed a picture of that sedan...

Did a screen grab as I watched the presentation:



Cheers

Wow, it looks much nicer than the Echo.

A Mazda 3 falls in love with a Toyota Prius after a night on the town passing gas, having dinner at the local Shell station and getting a little racy on the interstate. They make out along a beautiful parking lot by the beach. "Let's Get It On" plays on their sound systems, and sometime in the future they had a love child... Belta. But little did Prius know that 3 was having an affair with his overweight sister, 5.

^I was just going to say that the Belta looked like a 3 mixed with some Prius styling, but things got a little out of hand. Please forgive me.

Just so you know, Toyota had that type of grill on a lot of their Euro and JDM models before Mazda ever did, so if anyone is copying anyone here, it's Mazda copying Toyota. Since none of these models ever came to North American shores, most people are led to believe that type of grill is a "Mazda thing".

Getting back on topic, it looks really nice, definitely more upscale than the outgoing Echo sedan. I don't like that Euro style Toyota grill, I wish the black Toyota grill was on it instead.

Otherwise, looks really good, can't wait to see official pics of the interior and the rear.

It seems to be almost as good as the current Corolla, which is getting redesigned, and should move more upscale to differentiate itself with the Yaris sedan.

Rear and interior pics...not sure if the USDM version is more/less upscale than this:

The new Yaris sedan, not as nasty as the previous gen ehco sedan, but it will be one of the best ergonomic design.
