Is it just me or is Yaris and Sport an oxymoron? Or maybe it's like what a Grandpa uses for his little grandson "Hey, Sport, how you doing?"

I would love one of these things. When I read the review of an early development model in evo magazine, they were genuinely surprised with how hardcore it was. Noisy, harsh, and pretty quick for a supermini. The production model has a quieter exhaust (apparently after several journos complained) and a more refined feel but still has that crazy character. Have there been any other supercharged hatchbacks?
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm thinking of the GRMN version.. that one has 209 hp and a supercharger. This one is the 1.5L. Should read before I comment lol

As a Yaris owner, I disapprove of this car. It'll actually be slower than the non-hybrid model and my current Yaris will most likely out perform it.

can't wait for reviews that say how slow it is and then how forum jockeys say they don't get the car.

Well at least I'm consistent because there is nothing in that sentence that does anything for me, so I continue to stand alone!

The Honda guys will love this car. Front-wheel drive. Sport suspension. Red accent colors. Tiny engine. I mean damn-this will be the new Civic.
That said-I think it's cute. I'd rock that. But then I thought the iQ was cute too.
