Yaris Discontinued In The USA

[PixieDawn]

I just got off the phone with my dealership to check on my order of my Yaris, and they told me that they where notified by TOYOTA today that they have discontinued the Yaris in the usa........but they havent cancelled any orders that were placed YET but they dont know if they will be shipping any others... after the ones for this mnth...I am freaking out...:frown:

<<<<<HAS ANYONE ELSE HEARD ANYTHING YET>>>>>>

[weeze-dog]

First I've heard of it, which model did you order the Sedan or Liftback? I could see them cancelling the sedan if the liftback was outselling it, but these cars aren't even sitting on the dealers lots for more than a few days if that. They are selling like hotcakes. Only been out for a coupld of months. Maybe it was selling tooo successfully? Or your dealer could be full of BS.

[stuffy]

???? are you sure about that? there seems to be a fairly big demand for the car, why would they cancel it?

[silverRS]

ya I think you were talking to the janitor at the dealership.

[PixieDawn]

yeah i just got off the phone with toyota direct, they said its not true, I am now working with the dealerships CRM,to find out why my sales guy is so retarded, or to get my deposit back so I can go to another dealership yet again........:mad:

[Tankota]

Ha, maybe the idiot was thinking it was the Echo...

Something very very very Major would have to be wrong with the car for them to discontinue a new vehical they just released in the same year it was released..

Tell the dealer to beat that salesman with a stick. :thumbdown:

[fnkngrv]

Has that ever really occured....that massive of a recall? I mean they didn't even do that with the Edsel. Good quiz question...

[fearturtle44]

Yeah, I bet it was the Echo........ No way the Yaris is discontinued since it has been around for years in Europe with no problems. It is not April's fools is it???

[ECHOKnight2000]

Like others have said the dealership is on crack...number one why would Toyota discontinue a hot selling car during a gas crunch (however you want to see it as) and with Honda and Nissan out with competition as well as the fact Toyota put so much money into developement of the car and marketing it...and plus you and I would have to hear official news from Toyota to say that...as others have mentioned maybe the "janitor" thought of the ECHO which is already discontinued...enough of my rant. But to anwser your question no its NOT being discontinued (not anytime soon that is).

[fouad84]

mabe he said it was 'discounted'? That would be cool...not for me

[eight_heads]

sounds to me like they didn't want to deal with you... i think you should find another dealership

:rolleyes:

[mikeukrainetz]

Nissan just did a full model recall on some of their 4 cylinder Altima and Sentra - Total Recall (lol)

Theyve done a stop sale on the whole works for 2006 models.

Yeah, the Yaris is still going strong and selling like hotcakes :) I love mine and so do all the other Yaris folk. Here in NC the sedan seems,to sell better than the hatchback,or at least they get more sedans in stock,so I don't know. I bought a sedan and I love it :)



Great day and have fun with your Yaris :thumbup:

this is my second dealership already ... I have already had to start over when the other dealership I was working with offered me someone else's car for a 2k mark up....but this time around i called Toyota and I am following the instructions they have given me... and letting my husband take care of it... tomorrow we have a meeting with there CRM.. to get to the bottom of whats going on.. at this point, we have pretty much figured out that I have been screwed around with.. I put my deposit down on the 9th, and it looks like the sales guy never put it in the system to order my car, so when I called today to find out why after 3 weeks I still dont have an ETD, he came up with .. ummm. they arent making them anymore... so I will keep you guys posted on things as they come up.. but getting this car has been nothing but headaches thus far.. hope it gets easier (or at least cheaper :help:) tomorrow.. I better get something out of this deal

In my area you can easily find a hatchback. If you want the sedan, they're pretty much ordered by the dealer as people buy them. I've been trying to test drive w/ no luck. Can test drive the hatch but it's not the same. Going to Hartford in a week and I've seen dealers in that area claiming to have up to 7 in stock. I'm hoping I can test drive then. I can't bring myself to purchase a car w/o test driving it. Luckily my sister-in-law works for one of the biggest dealers in the northeast so as soon as I decide if I want the car, I can give her the info and her boss will make the deal for me and have the car shipped here since their Toyota store is 5 hrs away.

lol here its the other way around. I got lucky I have test driven both of them.they do drive diff and I loved them both... what part of NY are you in.. my husbands family is from NY and it might be worth a flight up and a drive back to FL to get my car right away...:thumbup:

[asa805]

I dont know where ceres is from but there are no hatch's anywhere around Queens, Long Island, Manhattan? Maybe upstate their is a difference? Though my dealership (a very large on in long island) had about 5 sedans on site when i went in for my hatch. They were also getting 7 sedans in the next week but had no hatch's due to come in at that time.

Go down there and BEAT THAT MAN WITH A STICK!!!!! :slice: If they had taken your money, had it in their account for 3 weeks, not ordered for you etc, you should have plenty of leverage to press them for whatever upgrades are available - complimentary - to make up for their incompetence and the distress they caused.....:thumbdown: Make them please YOU.......:thumbsup: it is your money!!

[boxerboy]

I was told that more sedans will be made and that it is a small production run for the USA. Hatches with power are also few. :iono: Just how much can you belive a car salesman?:confused:

With all the "shady" info you got thus far, don't believe anything until you see it for yourself.
"ordered" a liftback on 4/21 and "might" see it by the end of July??

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

plus after what they spent on advertising why cancel???

[TRD_Yaris]

plus after what they spent on advertising why cancel???

the same reason Honda put out the Fit and limited it's quantities..to draw people into the dealership..only to UPSELL them to a Corolla or Civic :thumbdown:
Toyota is shady. Good car, sh1tty salespeople.

Sounds like someone is blowing smoke up your @$$. Toyota dealers cant even get them things in much less keep them on the lot. I dont think Toyota wold be dumb enough to discontinue the Yaris in the U.S. They are giving the GM and Honda dealers too much competition. i would double check my sources again or call another dealer.

[swng]

Shocked to learn about the news. Simply put, I find it hard to believe.

I live in lower upstate NY (near middletown,NY) and I got the one of the only 2 door hatches the dealer here had, he told me he only had one other and it went to a rep, I still have not seen any others in my travels around here.
