Just saw on AutoBlog.com (they are covering the New York Auto Show) the new Scion "iM" (replacement 4 door hatch for the xB ?) and the new Scion "iA"-Mazda 2-based car made in Mexico.

I am thinking the "iA" is the actual car everyone has been worried about replacing our beloved current Yaris. According to the New York coverage, this iA Sedan "is" the Mexican-Made, Mazda 2-based car Toyota has partnered with Mazda to be built at the new Mazda plant in Mexico.

It is not a bad looking sedan....could have easily been a New Yaris 4-door Sedan. This makes me wonder...Could this be the end of the Yaris name? I mean they keep pushing everyone to the Prius C for a small hatchback and now they have this Yaris-sized "sedan" as the new Scion iA. And it is still strange that some people (depending on area of the country) have trouble finding a new Yaris at a Toyota dealer. Is something about to happen to our little trooper car??

It has got me wondering if we are seeing the "beginning of the end" for the Yaris.:iono:

This is posted in the wrong section, should be in the off-topic/other cars section.

How did you manage to miss the other iA and iM discussions already started?

In Canada, the USA Scion iA "Mazda2 Sedan" will be sold as the Toyota Yaris Sedan. It's weird (and depressing) how many different versions/trims of the Yaris are sold globally at any given time, especially considering that the USA generally ends up with the worst versions.

i haven't seen a drag coefficient for the IA yet, but i'm thinking this one might get the best non hybrid mpg yet. 6 speed auto.
