Re: 2006 Toyota Yaris hatchback

Looks like Toyota Canada has started it's Yaris advertising campaign with some ambiguous TV commercials and a website,
http://www.yaris.caThe content has absolutely nothing to do with the Yaris car. The star of the ads is a guy named "Uncle Yaris."

I'm scratching my head on this one. But I guess it is a good "teaser" ad campaign since most people in Canada have probably never heard of a Yaris and this will get them wondering what this is all about.

Personally, I think this advertising campaign sucks ass.
The 3-door Yaris looks decent though. Long-time DS members already know I got a "thing" for modestly powered hatchbacks.

You think they're trying to get a guy that sorta looks like the car? Cause the more I stare at the guy, the more his face looks ike the car.

Buy one, it'll be less girly than the Jetta.

Ok sorry for the bump but has "anyone" seen the new Yaris commercials they're playing on T.V? To be honest I don,t know how the hell Toyota is selling a car by putting an ad of a long nosed man in his 20's speeding along in a stationary bicycle on the side of a canal
