Guys...using that word again...."cynical".
In this segment it's not *that* bad.
It's a Toy meaning it's no frills & reliable.
MY2017 update looks pretty decent.

Why not go for the new Toyota Aygo?
Looks quite young and funky. Not sure how it compares to the Etios though.

The Etios range will be boosted with the addition of a new 'Sprint' derivative, set to arrive early in 2017.
The Sprint derivative features a new front-end with a more prominent bumper design, large lower air-dam (with integrated foglights) and new grille.
The rear bumper also receives cosmetic tweaks with a lower crease line. The interior will gain new elements throughout.
The package is rounded off with ‘twin-spoke’ 15" alloys.

Kyalami - Toyota used the SA Festival of Motoring to reveal a new version of its Etios called the Sprint, and it features a redesigned front end and other aesthetic perk-ups.
Set to go on sale during the first quarter of 2017, the Etios Sprint will replace the XS model, while the entry-level Xi will soldier on with the current look, although it will benefit from other upgrades.
Although its name might evoke some sort of performance expectation, there is no mention of any engine upgrades, meaning the Sprint will soldier on with the current and well proven 66kW 1.5-litre normally aspirated petrol engine.
It's all about aesthetics here and to that end the Sprint is set apart by a unique tapered grille design and large lower air dam, as well as twin-spoke 15-inch alloy wheels. Minor changes have also been made to the rear bumper, while the cabin has been freshened with some new materials.
Prices will only be announced nearer to launch, but if the currency slide continues then it's likely that the Sprint will cost more than the R166 400 commanded by the current XS hatch.

Best run around car ever! You can make speed bumps disappear and turn gravel roads into race tracks with this POS.

True; clever way to cut costs. Most blokes I've spoken to don't like them though...myself included.

Exactly, it is a cost cutting thing. If you don't have the budget to design and build a car to be region specific then I ain't buying it.
Go take a few hints from GM about regionalising products, sometimes it is more than just slapping on a different badge. When I buy a car I want to feel like it was made for me.

That actually looks pretty good. By interior work I hope that replaced that dashboard.
