rumors

I was at my dealership Fri, and the Parts guy who always helps me, comes out see's my new tails and goes on to tell me that there is a turbo coming for 08, but will start around 25000 cdn, can anyone validate this!!

[hans_fh]

WOW!!

A turbo Yaris would cut deep into the mini cooper's sales and give the Civic Si a black eye. But, I doubt a parts guy would have access to that kind of intel.

No offense but I wouldn't hold your breath and take it with a grain of salt. But at the same I guess Toyota could offer a Turbo OPTION for the Yaris. That would be cool. Although I see your in Canada I wonder if they will offer it for the U.S. I highly doubt it at this time maybe later. Or Toyota could offer the same or similar turbo option for the new xD and xB.:iono:

Anyway if you can keep us posted that would be cool!

I call BS. Dealers rarely seem to know much about new product.

Agreed. In my experience, it's rare when they know much about current products. :biggrin:

[slvryaris]

When I went to order mine the sales guy had never heard of a Yaris which was over a year ago before they came out I wanted to order one.

If it seems too good to be true... yeah.

As a dealer representative, all I can tell you is that Toyota has not informed their salespeople (at least in Canada) of a turbo option for 2008. I have published all changes to the 2008 model line that we have been informed of in another thread.

They did make a couple Modellista/TRD concepts for the a few car shows that are turbo charged and produce 150 HP but they only talked about release in Japan and Europe.

I didn't ask he was the one who mentioned it. Until the final word comes maybe BS but interesting I think. Canada thing, since the yaris sells better here. I still can't understand why we get a 5 dr and tach and the US doesn't. Sucks doesn't it!! I think the possibility is good though seeing the sales of the yaris in Canada thus far!

Yet another reason to annex Canada.
