The manual shifter is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long, sticking a chopstick in a bwl of rice. Otherwise the interior looks very improved than the current Yaris.

well always that way in EU BUT, here is whats new:
- 95% of models will have Entune (Toyota Touch in Europe).
- Half leather seats
- Dualzone climate (it was single zone auto before)
- Seat warmers (including back unlike in my ex-GS350 :P).
- Bluetooth phone controls


I am sure NA wont get half of these, but thats because americans are not prepared to pay for 22k Yaris :-)

I like the new edgy styling of the new Yaris...but I have a feeling we're going to get jipped again in North America. Europe's head units are sourced through Aisin Europe.

The Yaris gets Touch & Go! Google mapping and apps....uh oh... I have a feeling we're going to get jipped. This is more advanced than anything in the Lexus lineup...even the new Toyota Entune thats not even out yet!

Entune doesn't have Google search and mapping. Also Entune is only limited to Microsoft products like Bing. The name is not flip either.

cool thing about touch and go is that you will be able to add navigation to it as accessory that costs $500, as supposed to usual $2k for dealer installed navigation.

Google > Bing.

Enform is limited to these apps: http://www.toyota.com/entune/

Touch & Go allows use to upgrade the apps on the system.

The panoramic roof will for sure not make it to N.A.

Eww Bing, come on Toyota! Use Google.

well touch and go has no apps at all currently, and in any case it will have to be connected through your phone, so i suspect it is same system at the base.

not sure why would google be better than bing for usa though, just because it is google?

Toyota officially in their press release said that Entune is upgradeable via smartphone so that it won't get outdated. That also means the capability is there to upgrade apps, or add more apps. How do you know Toyota won't add more apps in the future to Entune? These are just the initial apps Entune will start with, according to Toyota themselves.

confusion comes from the fact that it is not available yet :-).

but even in Europe, Touch and Go is now available for Verso-S however nav module and apps are NOT available yet.

Another thing to note is low res interface with basic Touch and Go while one with factory nav (more expensive) gets a lot nicer screen.

But then again, if it is going to be in 95% of Yaris models you cant expect some LED HD LCD.
