The video has both the Honda Fit in it and the Toyota Yaris. The interior footage is definitely the Honda's not the Yaris - the Yaris has that center mounted gauge pod and this is clearly not that.

Some of the exterior footage alternately shows the Fit and then the Yaris.

On a side note, CityTV is looking for a new video editor.......

hahaha maybe they forgot to shoot the fit from outside when the car was rolling, and they thought people wouldn't notice?

Actually, they almost got me. It wasn't until the second shot at the exterior that I realized something was not right. Toyota should sell the 5-door Yaris in the US too, not just in Canada. 5-door is much more practical, but I guess that's why we have the Matrix.

In The Driver's Seat isn't actually a CityTV show - I think they just air it a week late. Anyway ya, that was pretty lame. That show is actually pretty lame all together.
