These are the first spy shots to come out on the acclaimed Toyota Etios. The car looks exactly the same as the concept car displayed at the Auto Expo and the test mules have been covered in white to camouflage them. The sedan has shades of the Indigo Manza in the rear flanks and is a Logan (with some fillets added) from the rear and it remains to be seen how the masses take to the styling of the Etios.

The trademark single wiper is visible from the front and looking at the Swift standing behind it, it looks very similar in size to the former. While Toyota is gearing up to launch its Etios, there are a host of other cars from the Polo, Micra, Figo and sedan versions of all the three hatches to beat. Lets not forget shall we that the all new Swift is also expected in end 2010 to early 2011. This is a battle of brand name Vs substance. We will have to wait to see which one wins.
