this pic is confusing me as headlights have projectors while 5 door ones do not :-)
... and it doesnt have turn signals in mirrors like Euro version.

Is this US spec 3 door?

the sheet metal of the top picture is completely different than the one on the bottom. Seems like a lot of cost for such a cheap car

there are probably larger differences in Yaris coupe and Yaris than C-class sedan and coupe

The 3-door Yaris looks sharp.

3 door is not for NA and it is not for Europe and it is not called Yaris in Japan either.

So what market is this sports edition for? Who knows for now... Maybe Aussie? Aussie has motor show coming up VERY soon and someone might have broken the embargo.

Yeah, it is being previewed before the start of the Aussie show.

Very Sharp. I'd like to see the 5 door with those wheels

it is definitively sports edition, so you will see it on 5 door as well.

Well, this sport edition 3-door won't see America, but it is uncertain whether we'll see the basic 3-door. I'm thinking yes, if Toyota is smart. If they don't it will be quite odd considering the 2007-2008 Yaris hatch was ONLY available as a 3-door in the US, with the 5-door finally coming later for 2009. There is generally greater interest in the 3-door as well, in the US.
