Toyota Yaris
The little Yaris is back in 2009 with only several minor aesthetic tweaks. Nowhere are they more apparent than on the RS version, which gets a new set of aerodynamic skirts, and new wheels. The remaining versions have slight changes to the grille and bumpers. Also new for 2009 is the optional removable TomTom navigation system, integrated to the radio. This is a feature the competition doesn't offer.
