I'm not certain it looks quite right...it's proportions don't like quite as happy as the Fiesta or DS3s - a little narrow and tall maybe?

Picture 8 shows the rear, mental wing and grills behind the wheels.

Functional aero is not pretty. Hence the irony in people complaining that functional aero on a road car makes it look as if someone has driven through Halfords, when what they would prefer to see is almost entirely cosmetic.
Exactly! Not pretty, but has a certain beauty of its own in engineering porn.The back-end is undoubtedly not an aesthetic beauty, but I love how uncompromising they've been in exploiting the maximum aero features available:

I kind of like the Yaris for its craziness, but it isn't pretty!
Makes me wonder what people thought back in the group b days, when the cars started spouting massive wings?

The Audi Sport Quattro S2 was completely nuts and even now looks mad. But these cars are not the stuff of legends.
It will never be as good as the Group B days as far as passion and the following of fans but it is a huge step in the right direction.
