Yaris!?!?!




Hmmm you guess?




Stage:

 

Quite honestly, I like the way they look, especially the little green 2door. But then I see the Bowtie and assume that chevy will screw it all up somehow.

 

^^lol, pretty much

they look better in person though, if they weren't chevy, i would really love these things, saw them at nyias

 

this is the start of the clone wars. GM they might have some good performance mods for them like they did for the cobalt. but I could be wrong.

 

They look better than the Aveo! That's a start.

-THE DON

 

Folks, keep in mind, the HHR is $23k car.

 

lol the purple once screams second generation xb

 

These things are tiny in person their not subcompacts like the xA, xB1, and xD their Microcars. The Groove and Beat do look good though..

 

Dude I am all for these cars, I like to boxy one (obviously from my car) But the real reason I like it... 1L Diesel Engine... Imagine the gas milage

 

Imagine clocking 0-60 with a sundial.

These are identified as concept cars. If they actually build them they will be significantly Cobaltized/ Aveonated when they arrive.

 

You won't need to clock the 0-60. On these cars they are meant for city only. So not very fast driving is needed (usually). I would sacrafice 0-60 for more gas milage (I do it with my xB)

 

Too bad they are to be designed and made in Korea. *Cough Aveo Cough*

 

This just in, the blonde model is only 5'1" and 88 lbs. She was chosen to make the cars look huuuuuge*














*there's a possibilty that I just made that up.

 

chevy copying other car companies sucesses isn't anything new. the camaro was a copy of the mustang. the corvette was designed to mimic the european sports coupes, the hhr is a rip off of the pt loser, chevy blazer and k5 blazer were rip offs of the ford bronco II/ explorer, and ford bronco.

but i must say that the styling is alittle more directly plagerized than usual. anyway, like i always say, i seriously wish gm best of luck. like it or not, america needs gm and ford to turn it around.

 

They do look very similar. The thing I hate the most is all car companies seem to be coming out with copies of all the other new cars. From a distance I always think a Saturn Ion, new Nissan altima, etc is a scion - except our roof is all glass where they have color. One could argue that the Xb copied the element to some extent. A car can only have so many shapes and with so many companies out there - you are bound to have a lot of look-a-like cars manufactured by different companies.

I got the Scion because I knew not a lot of people would have it (everyone has a black civic here and it's annoying) - but it does make me upset that a lot of other companies are making similar cars.

Here is a link to the HONDA BUS ... Hmm, yea that doesn't look at all like an Xb.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and defend the Bowtie. The Purple one looks just like a squished HHR; the fact that it becomes the overall shape of an xB, well... a box is a box is a box. The orange one could be modeled after any of their umpteen thousand SUV designs. And the green one... if that's modeled after the Yaris, then they one-upped Toyota there. The Yaris could never, ever look that sporty.

Just because they're small doesn't mean they're Scion/Toyota knock offs. If that was the case, we could accuse Scion/Toyota of copying any number of dinky vehicles that have been running around overseas for years, because all small cars have the same basic shapes.

I LOVE all the oversized headlights and grills.... I always wanted to drive one of those cool Matchbox cars!

I agree but just cause they are small does not mean they have to look like the Yaris/xB and be Scion/Toyota knock offs! hehe

Also I am not sure if you have seen a suped up Yaris or not but they look pretty cool (for a Yaris that is)

 

True, but without the success of Scion, those concepts do not exist.

 

I saw these at the car show here in the city. One of the babes, also on display, said the green one had a 1.3 liter turbo and tight suspension and for its size, that would be good. Now granted this is a concept car which usually looks nothing like the later production car but I have to say the green one looked good. But unfortunately it will be a GM product regardless of where they make it. And it is a shame but american car companies do not build cars on par with honda, toyota or even mazda. You can vote for one of them here if you so choose.
