    My Dealer has two new Scion IM's. This new car sure looks like the Toyota Auris for the Euro Market that is sold as a Hybrid. Anyone know if it is the same car, just not a Hybrid?? Auris_BusinessEdition_1140x600_tcm-3060-353325.jpg maxresdefault.jpg

    Because it is. The Auris is the nameplate that replaced the Corolla in Europe.

    I really like the way that car looks. Will have to watch local dealer lots to see if I can stroll over on a Sunday and see it in person. Now that I have gone hybrid, I can't ever go back to just ICE, but that is a cool looking hatchback.
