In every way (except one!) that "most" consumers care about, the Yaris is an infinitely "better" car than the Metro was.

There are many who say that manufacturing methods for carbon fibre should be scalable to make it cheaper to use than current sheet metal methods.
On this logic it should be possible to have your cake and eat it too, there is no reason the Yaris needs to weigh 600lbs more than a metro, its just engineered that way.
Get the weight and shape under control and you can have your "luxuriousness" along with FE.
