But because of the widening economic discrepancy between the "haves" and the "have-nots," the rest of us ultimately gets to stay mean and cower behind the murky backdrop of desolation while happy and shiny people with thick wallets naturally can afford to buy whatever they want whether it be fine clothes, extravagant jewelry, and yes, even those eye-candy-filthy-exorbitant-priced cars. 

The report of this exciting development comes on the heels of images that were leaked online also seen from the latest spyshot of a road-test sighting in Thailand just a couple of months back that best reveals that the new Toyota Vios or Toyota Yaris sedan would look, more or less, in the league of the Asian-spec, 12th generation Toyota Corolla, but sporting much better-proportioned aesthetics than the latter.

Meanwhile, the traditional engine would have a naturally aspirated 1.2 liter four-cylinder petrol engine that makes 87hp and 108 Nm of torque 

Toyota is expected to launch the 2023 Yaris/Vios in Thailand by August 2022 and in the rest of the Asian region in the 3rd quarter of 2022 according to Review1Box YouTube channel.

What's more, according to AutoIndustriya.com, the most intriguing and wonderful aspect of the all-new 2023 Vios/Yaris is the inclusion of the much-rumored E-Smart Hybrid system that was initially developed by the Daihatsu Motor company that comes with a highly-specialized setup comprising the gasoline-powered 1.2-liter engine that charges a lithium-ion battery pack installed in the car that powers the electric motor providing superb acceleration, fuel efficiency, and minimal carbon footprint to the environment.

As it now stands, this would only be the beginning as the Philippine automotive industry moves into the new and exciting frontier of vehicle electrification in years to come. With this in mind, the Blue Oval City
