Why no Yaris in India

Wow! Diametrically opposite views on the Yaris! Proves the old adage - 'One man's food is another's poison.'

I guess the truth lies in between saying it is a brilliant car and that it is crap. My original thought was on Yaris and its suitability to India and how it would stack up against NHC, Verna, Sx4 etc. If it were to be launched in India, I suppose it would be in the 8 to 8.5 lac bracket and considering the competition,it would have put up a very good show.

8 lakhs for a Yaris is high on optimism. Realistically, it should be within the 5 - 6 lakh range.

Why is it that within the last few years all these cars are suddenly starting to look butt-ugly?

If you mean a Yaris sedan, so should the others like NHC.

Tell me about it, man! The butt-ugly series continues with the new S-Class, C-Class, NHC, New Accord and the latest....DZire. How difficult is it to make a car look good?

I love the looks of new C Class much better than the old one. Dzire looks better on road than in pics for sure.
