LOL, indeed, if they do release it here i hope they change the name, to something more clever like, "anis", or "bott-hole"

Default Ractis Chief Engineer was also bB Chief Engineer

Tetsuya Tada was also the Chief Engineer for Scion, which leads me to think that the Ractis will eventually make an appearance in the U.S, either as a Scion or a Toyota.

I don't think the replacement for the xA has to be the redesigned ist, it can be the xR = Ractis.

We have the crappy Aveo here in Canada too. If you look at them closely they are not that similar.
Here is another pic of it:

I don't think the Yaris is made to look cool. It's main purpose is to be fuel effecient. So either a buyer can look cool in a gas guzzler and spend too much money on a car, or have an extra couple hundred dollars in their pocket and just use it as a means of transportation.

Hey, just a side note, but why are people suddenly digging up these old threads. . . this dates back to October. Is the post activity here that slow? I'm not knocking anyone, but am just curious.
