Finally a small car that doesn't look like a squished, stick up the rear model.

Looks like badge engineering to me. Except this time they'll use a Toyota Yaris instead of a Camry.

I doubt it will sell well. People seem to want HUUUUUGE luxury cars that are living rooms on wheels.

I think it might sell well... There are plenty of those who want the name without associated price tag.. I'm sure college students would be all over this... It would sell well in Europe also I'm sure..

In all seriousness though, I'm sure this will be a hit with the college crowd though who have a bit of money to spend on a car, and for those who would might be looking for a Benz B-class also. |

hmm... i just wonder how much its going to cost... It may be getting into MINI territory and if it came down to it, i would much rather have a MINI than a rebranded Yaris.

Lots of folks have the money for bigger cars but live in dense cities. These folks probably wouldn't mind having a small more luxurious hybrid to scoot around in. Lots of those same folks buy mini coopers now but not all those people really care about the mini's performance aspects and just want something small yet nice along with a nice badge and gets better mileage than a mini. If this is real it'll fit the bill nicely.
