We need more funky, practical, inexpensive vehicles such as this. Looks quite stylish!

Hummm...looks like Berlin architechture and the signage supports that too (funky "B"). Is that a Germany-only model?

^yah, that's Germany. The "funky B" is their letter for a double "s". The word "Strasse" means "street".

Good eye.

The replacement for the Yaris Verso perhaps?

The lines are very clean, but I still like it.

That's a really funky dashboard lol. Reminds me (sorta) of the Previa or even the Estima with its curved dashboard.

It seats my 6'3" without locking my knee under the steering wheel when changing from gas pedal to brake - that's good.

It has a rear seat that folds flat, backrest on the seat and can move forward and down into the rear footspace for a totally flat trunk floor - that's nifty.

And it has this engine start-stop button like a hybrid, the use of which can improve city fuel economy by 10% - that is neat too.
:clap:

As for Ractis design, if you find such material offensive, don't enter.

With gas prices the way they are, we could be looking at the next Sienna!!!
