MANGA ARE COMICS
OR GRAPHIC NOVELS FROM JAPAN, AS WELL AS A GENRE OF ANIMATED ACTION MOVIES FEATURING HEROES SUCH AS BLEACH, WHO HAPPENS TO BE WRAPPED AROUND MY RIDE, THE TOYOTA GR YARIS RALLY. It would look ridiculous on any other hot hatch, but this fighting dwarf absolutely suits the cartoonish character of this car. Visually, the pugnacious little performance hatch bristles with distinctive touches and has about as much to do with the regular Yaris as politicians have with the truth. The eye-catching coupé silhouette dispenses with the rear doors and the front ones are sporty, frameless items, while the back part of the roof slopes down more, 91mm to be exact, than that of the standard model. The front grille is big, really big, and features such as 18-inch alloy wheels, the rear spoiler and a carbon-fibre reinforced roof all add to the GR's street cred.
