Spy Shots: Undisguised and indistinguishably facelifted Toyota Yaris

Spy Shots: Undisguised and indistinguishably facelifted Toyota Yaris

Filed under: Spy Photos, Hatchbacks, Toyota
Vehicle test mules usually sneak out onto public roads with some camouflage to mask their identities from the legions of long-lensed paparazzi. With its latest development, Toyota opted for the opposite approach: no camouflage, no body-cladding, no shame. That could be because this facelifted Yaris hatchback bears little discernable difference to the model it succeeds. The shape of the air intakes and grille have been ever-so-slighty tweaked, while around back the tail-lights get subtly reconfigured.
With changes this minor, Toyota evidently thought that by putting masking tape around the revised bits, it would draw attention to it. And it almost slipped under the radar of the ever-vigilant online automotive press. Almost.

Yeah, the black tape really does draw unwanted attention to it. I just had my own sighting of a four door taped BMW with strange looking taillights.

plus i dont think anyone gives that much about little tweaks done to the yaris. not really a big money car.

The only one getting all the attention is the new Corolla.

i love the looks of the new corolla, specially the xrs with the 2.4!

i gotta say the corolla looks better in those commercials than the photos that were put up here about two months ago.

I like the sushi chef commercial. LOL
