Finally, a Yaris sighting

[fearturtle44]

Finally, after having my "S" for a month, I saw a Yaris liftback today. Nice looking and was the lighter blue color. Very sharp.

Bayou Blue I think its called.. very cool color, reminds me a little of the Slate Blue the Hummer uses on the H3's.

[Hyde]

when i drove down to seattle, the only yaris' i see are all from canada lol

[seriousfun]

I've only seen two in Los Angeles since i got mine 5/1 - a white LB with a real estate company's advertisement on the driver's side door (not very attractive) and a blue sedan in my rear view mirror.

[JaiTomato]

I finally saw another Yaris today too. But then he's from out of state (Maryland)

[Boonespeed]

pardon my ignorance, but do you work for the real estate company or are they just paying you to advertise?

[ECHOKnight2000]

I've see one Yaris back in March or begining of April on the road...then none for awhile...of course I saw Honda FIT and plenty of Dodge Calibers, and they came out after Yaris what gives!:iono: Then not long ago I saw three sedans on the road:w00t: I yet to see more hatches but I have a feeling that won't be for awhile as they are hard to get and more sedans are being produced anyway, at least for the U.S.

[Chris07LB]

Lots of Honda FITs around here.. nice, but to minivan-ish for me.

[johnnyfive]

thought i saw three other sedans on the freeway the other day...but they were all the new camrys..amazing how similar they really do look

[seriousfun]

pardon my ignorance, but do you work for the real estate company or are they just paying you to advertise?

As I said: "a white LB with a real estate company's advertisement on the driver's side door (not very attractive)," meaning I saw a white LB, not meaning I drive a white LB. I didn't like how the white 3-door looked.

[johnnyfive]

saw my first other Yaris today, black liftback parked in the back row at a local bestbuy, wanted to park my sedan next to it and snap a shot, but no spots for me :)

[Lizardboy]

Just got my Barcelona Red S Sedan two days ago. Yesterday, I saw a red sedan in the Stater Bros. parking lot then when I returned home i saw a light green one parked in front of a neighbor's house. Oh, yeah, last week I saw a red hatchback on the freeway. I haven't seen any Fit's at all. They're harder to come by in my area than the Yarii. I also saw one Suzuki Reno on the freeway.

[asa805]

Ive only seen one other Yaris (a LB) since buying my car on May 31 and it was a blazing blue ( i think thats what its called) and it was a young girl driving it. No other sitings as of yet.

[sroberts]

I have yet to see a Yaris on the road here in Denver but I did see one at a Toyota dealer that someone had already purchased. I got excited and thought it was for sale, lol.

[Chris07LB]

Spoted one other Polar White Liftback, one Black Sedan and two Goldish Sedans... thats it so far.

[Lizardboy]

Yesterday, on the way home from Palm Springs, I got onto Interstate 10 right next to a liftback with tinted windows. I believe it was Bayou Blue. The kicker though, it was purchased from the dealership right next to my house. I wonder if this was the one that sold one hour before I got there.:confused: That's okay though. I love my S!:biggrin:

[Tankota]

I finaly saw another today.. pulled up almost next to me at a light.. funny thing was it was another flint mica s-sedan, almost exactly like mine, except I've got the spoiler and alloy wheels... what are the odds??

[asa805]

Did u smile and wave? lol

[Lizardboy]

I pulled up next the guy and I was going to give him a nod but he never looked over. lol

[JaiTomato]

Umm do we start waving at other Yaris owners like the Jeep wrangler people do?

[fnkngrv]

yes....but without the "howdy" i would wager

I have seen one other Yaris on the road and it was a flint mica S in Shakopee, MN at a gas station....other than that nope.

[Lizardboy]

Umm do we start waving at other Yaris owners like the Jeep wrangler people do?

Or like the 1st generation Miata owners that pop open and closed our barndoor(popup) headlights when we pass each other?:smile:

[markpeppie]

um who cares about this thread?? i have the yaris aero sedan and expect to see many "tons" on the road in a few months!! dont drive the yaris cause you want to be original

[Lizardboy]

I think a lot of us just wanted to see one in person. I know that was the case for me before I got mine last weekend.

[fnkngrv]

exactly

Some areas right now it's hard enough to see one at a dealer, much less on the road.. By next year though their should be a ton out there the way they are selling - if only Toyota can keep up.

[jdgriswald]

I've seen more Canadian RSs over the border here than I have locals. Damn u Canucks and your 5 doors!

[asa805]

i hadnt seen any yarii on the road and then all of a sudden yesterday i saw TWO! A silver sedan (really not blown away with this one) and a Blazing blue (the really bright one) LB! Im sad as that is the color i wish i got and it looks SOOO hot in person! I think we are going to start seeing a lot of them on the road now. Im kinda sad im not the only kid on the block with one anymore :( lol

[stuffy]

there are quite a few on the road now in canada, most days i see at least one, but most of them are hatchbacks. i have only seen a handful of sedans here.

[foober]

I'm still the only one here in kalilspell montana area. Folks are still staring at my car as I go by. I keep forgetting that it is unusual looking. Its weird having folks staring at me as I drive by.

[Lizardboy]

I see nearly one a day now here in Southern California. Probably 50/50 sedan and liftback. I still haven't seen another S sedan like mine though.

[Thirty-Nine]

I see sedans all the time. I've only seen one liftback around here.

[Buckethead]

Yeah I see at least 1 a day. More sedans than anything, but I just saw one liftback this morning at the gym parking lot. Very cool little guy! It was a silver, base model, no features. It was also parked in a handicap spot, so I doubt the owner will trick it out.

:w00t:

[ECHOKnight2000]

I'm starting to see more Yarii, a sedan came up behind me on the hwy when I was driving to school but they went off an exit...then I saw another (sedan) at the mall parked. When I went out with my co-workers for dinner in the shopping mall lot there was a bayou blue liftback in the parking lot, didn't notice it till later but I was all giddy inside when I did spot it, sort of like a celebrity. Can't wait to see more.

[TRD_Yaris]

I'd be surprised if anyone here in Texas can read my plates. I hit the boost like WOW!! and all I see all day is people turning their heads like !WOW! ...

[johnnyfive]

I see sedans all the time. I've only seen one liftback around here.

where at? i have only seen one liftback, and one other sedan yet...maybe you just see me over and over again ;)

[Chris07LB]

Someone's gonna have a rough morning ahead of them... lol :bellyroll:

[TRD_Yaris]

Someone's gonna have a rough morning ahead of them... lol :bellyroll:

yeah.. i woke up kinda hungover today :laugh:
I miss driving boosted cars, and my 30 mpg average on the last few gas fill-ups in the Yaris is a sure sign of that. I haven't had a performance car on the street in some time..sold my JDM Aristo V300 TT, sold my civic hatch, and i've taken my only 2 running 240SX's off the street for track-only duty (which, btw, is few and far between these days partially cuz I've been getting hammered on weeknights! :bellyroll: )

and, no, I haven't seen many Yarii on the road. one sighting of a red liftback..that's it.

[asa805]

Ive still only seen two yarii on teh road. Both sedans. A pretty jade green (which may have been teh sport) and a silver one (which i didnt like).

Im sure there are other liftbacks around but i just havent seen em... and i still turn enough heads to believe that their really isnt that many around over here.

Im pretty sure its still difficult to find them at the nearest dealerships.

I kinda like it this way. Leave all teh attention to me! Mwahaha!

[costaricandreams]

My wife and I drove across state last weekend and all the rednecks in the small towns we stopped in had a field day with the car. They couldn't believe that we could fit 2 dogs luggage and a cooler full of beer in the back.

The funniest was when we stopped in for a bite to eat at Hardee's. About three people came up to the car as we arrived for breakfast. The remarks ranged from "Well gaw lee.... Ya'll got one of dem' lil' future cars don'tcha? " to "Damn. That darn thing ain't' gonna be nothin' more than a bump in da road for my pickup truck! Ya'll gotta death wish or somethin'?"

-Ahhh... I just love North Carolina and its local wildlife.

[plushDJ]

lol I see about 1 a day, all hatch's. I don't think I've even seen a sedan

Ontario plates - a long way from home.

Anyone from here?

[nsmitchell]

I saw a red 5 door down here in Richmond, VA. It had Quebec tags.

What time was that taken? Thats my route home everyday (exit 11 GSPW South). :smile:

[Violin]

About 9:20 am.

[foober]

I looked through my rear veiw mirror a week ago and saw this smaller thinner looking car behind me. I couldnt figure out what it was. I slowed to let it get alot closer and realized it was a yaris hatchback just like mine. I started waving to the people but I don't think they caught on.

[Pars]

Here in Toronto, I'm on the road most of the day and usually see close to 20 per day. Most of them being 5dr liftbacks. I'm no-longer paying attention to them since they've become such a common occurrence. Even so, I'm still getting a lot of potential buyers questioning me about the car.

I was in Hawaii last week on a 3 week stay. In all that time, I only saw one red 3dr liftback in Ohau and a Sedan in Maui. Also saw 4 Fit and tons of xA and XB's.

[whoguy]

Hi all,

One time me, wife and child was travelling down Hoxton Park Rd in Sydney and saw another Yaris sedan..... when we stopped at the lights, they started honking and waving to us.... so we waved back... giving each other the thumbs up....

Must be because we're so happy to save money on fuel.... he he

[eTiMaGo]

They're becoming increasingly popular here, but then Toyotas are probably the most popular cars here, one reason being they are manufactured in the country and there are no import taxes on them :wink:

Anyway, even on a short 2km drive I might cross one or two Yarii... most of them stock though. The light blueish-grey color seems the most popular from what I see!

[KittenRD]

For the longest time I had not seen any yarises. I finally saw my first about a month ago and one about 2 weeks ago. This week I have seen 3! Two sedans and one liftback. It makes me anxious to get mine. I want it before the snow comes!

Yup, sedans and liftbacks are still a rare sight in hawaii, at least on oahu anyways. Along with mine, i've only seen one bayou LB and two sedans. The dealer has a month waiting list, and last I saw, there were some on the lot to be picked up, so I dont know where all the new yaris' are haha.

[Pars]

I was just taking a look at your Yaris, looks nice, it makes me want to go out and give mine a wash (The last time I cleaned it was 10,000km ago).

I was also in Kauai for 5days in Poipu, but drove around the island twice and didn't see any Yaris.

[yuiedie]

well my yaris is dirty now haha, its been raining for a few days. that reminds me, i should go and remove some of that bird crap on the car before it stains.....

[eTiMaGo]

On Oahu I usually see Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Aston Martins, racing all over the island... not a sign of a Yaris though.

Oh wait... that's a video game :biggrin:

Yeah, I heard that xbox 360 game is cool.

I liked drives in Maui the most, but Oahu had the go fast roads. Kauai's Waimea Canyon drive had some spectacular lookouts, but Maui's lookout outs could be had while driving along, but you're on a one lane dirt road, with a shear drop-off and oncoming traffic...The drive to Hana is tame when compared to driving completely around the island :burnrubber:

[yuiedie]

i think i saw Hawaiian Bluzman rolling down ala moana blvd this morning with his shiny rims. also saw a black LB with tons of decals.

[sanchez]

yeah man i see the sedans every now and then ive only seen about two other liftbacks but none in my blazing blue colour yet. i think was one of the first in orlando to have one cuz ive had it for like 3 mos now and im just starting to see em

[JeffForSale]

i've seen two liftbacks and a sedan rolling around here, and they were all white :eyebulge:

[Driver]

Driving my silver mica Yaris sedan home from my brothers this past Saturday I get on the Northern State Parkway and merge into traffic right behind a black Yaras sedan. What are the odds?:biggrin:
