Toyota Verso - Click above for high-res gallery

Toyota officially unveiled the latest version of its slick looking, Euro-centric people mover at the Geneva Motor Show this week. Called the Verso (not to be confused with the Nissan Versa), the three-row, five-door hatchback wears handsome sheetmetal with lines that are definitely "in family" for Toyota. For as much as we like the outside, the instrument panel has Scion disease. Center gauges. Please stop it. That third row also has severely limited legroom, but it's still a neat trick to fit so many perches within a Corrola-sized footprint, even if some are occasional-use grade. The Verso will likely delight for bopping across the moorland, but you might need to have your legs removed so you'll fit in back.

Verso? Versa? I smell Nissan clone.

^ definitely not.

Can anyone confirm the dimensions of that front grille? The 10th gen in the Philippines has the same front grille and I want to buy one when I go home and do a conversion back here.
