From a performance standpoint: Who knows? They haven't even said how powerful that engine is. From an aesthetic one: OH GOD KILL IT WITH FIRE. At least from the front and front-3/4 angles. That nose is UGLY. As an aside: 25% lighter than the Yaris? You mean the current one is more than 1000kg? It's not exactly a big car. In fact, I nearly bought one instead of my Clio, which is a bigger car that weighs a touch under 950kg, with a heavy TD engine, and not exactly feature-poor. Are parts of the Toyota made out of lead? Wind back to the 80s and most common hatchbacks were sub-800kg... Though I suppose as a hybrid we should cut it quite a lot of slack, as that's a fairly amazing result.
