Heh.
This is obviously a chrome paint though rather than polished aluminum.

Default Retouch

Toyota isn't saying much about the refreshed 2010 Auris right now, waiting for the Geneva unboxing, but here are a couple of photos to get you excited. It looks like there will be little nips and tucks all around, such as new fog light enclosures and lower front grille profile. Standard runners will get six engine choices, and the Auris HSD Hybrid will arrive for those who insist on going green. It will go on sale this Spring. A short press release is after the jump, and a coupe of high-res images await your eyes below.
PRESS RELEASE

On sale throughout Europe from early spring, the new Auris 2010 model range will make its European debut at this year's Geneva motor show.

Building on a solid reputation for roominess, comfort, practicality and reliability, the Auris 2010 combines marked improvements in exterior style, perceived interior quality and ergonomics with a wide choice of clean engine technologies and a more refined driving experience.

The Toyota Auris 2010 engine range features a choice of three petrol and three diesel units offering the performance- and economy-enhancing benefits of Toyota Optimal Drive. Complemented by the Auris HSD's full hybrid technology, this unique line-up will offer customers the most comprehensive range of powertrains in the C segment.

'Auris Hybrid' Receives ADAC 2011 Yellow Angel Award

Vehicle First Winner in New 'Car of the Future' Category


Munich, Germany, January 13, 2011—Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announces that its for-European-market "Auris Hybrid" has won the Yellow Angel award, conferred by the German automobile association Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club e.V (ADAC), in the newly established "Car of the Future" category.

The Yellow Angel award is presented by ADAC in five categories, including "Quality" and "Innovation and Environment", in recognition of exceptional vehicles and technology. The Car of the Future category valuates the effort that an automaker has put into the development of innovative technology. As the inaugural winner of the category, the Auris Hybrid was praised as being "the most advanced car presently available."

In the past Toyota has received Yellow Angel awards in the Quality category for the "Avensis" in 2005 and the "Yaris" in 2006.

Didier Leroy, president of Toyota Motor Europe NV/SA, attended the awards ceremony held here today, where he said: "What makes me especially proud to pick up this Yellow Angel is that it is an award for real cars available to customers now but respecting the needs of future society."

Toyota Motor Manufacturing (UK) Ltd. (TMUK) produces the Auris Hybrid, which is only available in Europe. In the first six months after production began in June 2010, approximately 15,000 vehicles were sold.

For sheer tastelessness you can't beat a chromed Mercedes:
