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.ca

The 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.

Uncle and mon ami are not the same thing >:O

Crazy french canadians.

mon ami is friend

and Jen's Yaris is being built right now...after she couldnt get an Echo she changed her order to a 2006 Yaris...on the condition that if she dosent like it...they will give her her money back.

Yes, I know.

Friend != Uncle.

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. wink.gif

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.

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 huh.gif
