For the better part of last month, yours truly was in the United States. Two things struck me when I was there; first is that everything there is just bigger – the people, food, cars, road, etc. – and secondly, did I mention everything is bigger? It makes a Toyota Corolla feel like a Vios and the Yaris is practically a Kei car over there, which I believe it’s a contributing factor to the Yaris’ discontinuation in the US.
