Just took a cursory reading. Very interesting. Packaging is very different from what is offered in Canada. I am very puzzled by the claim that the sedan will have the same fuel economy numbers as the hatch despite that it should be heavier.

why?

The gearing on the sedan could be different to make up for the extra hundred lbs or so.

Thanks why? It may be the gearing.

Thanks. Usually 50 lbs will be more than enough to make a noticeable difference in fuel economy. It just happens to be not in the case of the Yaris.
