BYD making Yaris like supermini?


BYD have come on leaps and bounds in the past few months, pushing out their sedans, and even the BYD F8 sports coupe. Some folks have spotted this super mini BYD car out testing, and it looks rather like a Toyota Yaris: (click to see enlarged versions)

    Perhaps this is the Toyota Aygo city car (which is part of a tie up with Peugeot (107) and citroen (C1). The rear end of the disguised has a glass tailgate just like the aygo. However, the lights appear to be in a vertical stack as in the Peugeot/Citroen versions. SO perhaps they’re evaluating different styling for the Chinese market.
