Toyota Will VS

Hey guys, I found this car today at a local dealer, 2003 car, but the mileage is 3,700KM only as the owner was transfered overseas after getting this car.

Need more info or at best, some excellent hi-res photos of this car. I super love it, but alas, climbing off my 97 A4 into a 21st century Toyota and yet immediately the first thing i notice is how cheap the interior materials are made of, how flimsy the bootlid, doors are compared to my car is a bit turn off. Nonetheless the styling is sublime.

All I know is, it's a limited edition car, the pics I posted is not the one I saw today, but it's the dark purple and looks exactly like one of the pics I posted without the twin tailpipes.

1.8 liter
FWD
Tiptronic
Torsion Beam (damn cheapo Toyota)

I believe it was based on the period Corolla underpinnings as a stylish alternative to it (IIRC there was also a Will based off Yaris mechanicals at least as a concept which looked like a funny mini 4 door saloon).

I like it in a left-field sort of way. But the auto would put me off.

Is this related to the American Toyota Matrix or something else in its own way altogether?

Looks like a nice car. It's in a useful wagon/hatchback configuration.

I like those. But info on them are rare, so I don't know much about them. I've a feeling it's going to be a good car for juicing up... street racing... lol.

Arkansas, Conway, not so bad, really.
Style v. Substance.

It's a classic case. Take your pick.

a bit off-topic, but during a recent visit to Indonesia I saw so many unknown Toyota models, exclusively produced for the South East Asian market, maybe you can open a thread on those...
