Yaris 08 is on Toyota US Site

[acdaazn]

As described by title.:smile:

[ALY]

'08 Yaris has been on Canada site for weeks now.

[death is my gift]

Good! I'm glad the colors still suck!

[Ryu]

is it possible to order S LB front skirt from the canada toyota dealer?

[aca72]

Did they raise the prices? I played with it and I configured an '08 Yaris S same as my '07. To my surprise, the '08 is about $300 more than my '07. That is terms of MSRP.

[sherryberry]

whoo gotta go check it out.

[yrsdrgn]

they don't have many pictures of the liftback S but there are so many new items they dropped into it we must buy and drop into our yarii! ^^

[landrym28]

I've been looking forward to seeing the E-brochure...and I'm not even American. :laugh:

[pronewb]

wats the diff between the 2? from what i can tell, theres nothing different.

[Astroman]

Hm, seems like there isn't a option to get the side airbags on the S liftback online.

[oilman930]

The Toyota Yaris S might be listed on the Toyota web site, but the site won't let me build the car according to my zip code. At least not yet.

[thebarber]

lol, congrats on finally getting a stock tach in the hatchback...

looks like the 'S' is the same as the canada 'RS'....sorta....

[ECHOKnight2000]

I wish they would spice up the Yaris section in the Toyota website. Especially the "gallery," come on we need some real world pics as well! Maybe some day. I have to go to the dealer and swipe me up an 08 brochure. And yes they need more pictures of the "S" liftback.

[Tapper]

In Canada there is no longer option packages for the rs, there used to be a&b pkgs but now there is only the RS package as an option.

[sherryberry]

i tried to build a car w/ my zip code.. did the liftback s to see what happens.. and it was like 14,000ish msrp since i guess it has to be shipped from somewhere.

???? Canadian = North American ?????

Runs for cover....:laugh:

[oilman930]

Tried to build a Yaris S hatchback for my zip code only to discover than the website doesn't show the Yaris S being sold in my zip code. A call to the dealership confirmed than the Yaris S hatchback will not be sold in my zip code for the entire 2008 model year.

Better luck next year!

It really boggles the mind that the US has such a convoluted stock control method. Maybe Georg Bush thought of it.....

[sherryberry]

I wouldn't be surprised.

[thebarber]

and still no 5drs for the yanks either? whats up with that anyways?

[Tapper]

I saw my 08 today. real happy cause i thought it was gonna be black and it ended up being Meteorite Metallic. It's so nice. RS 2 door 5spd LB.but it has some different stuff than the 07. I will post pics soon. I can tell you it has sliding seats and an additional piece on the bumper that "looks" like a diffuser behind each wheel. maybe that stuff was on other models, I have not seen enough rs's

[eijikikimaru]

Went to the Toyota parts department in Garden Grove, CA and the dude behind the counter informed me that the '08LB Speedo Cluster would not fit in the '07 LB. Something about the wires but I stop listening after he said it wouldn't fit.

I find that to be BS but can someone who is doing/has done the swap confirm if the '08LB cluster fits/does not fit in the '07LB?

[Black Yaris]

I think this guy is full of shit (cue the dancing poo)http://www.toledotuners.com/phpBB3/images/smilies/dancingpoop.gif... we already confirmed a Canadian LB cluster w/a tach will work in a US LB not equipt with a tach from the factory.... how is this new US cluster going to be any different? It looks identical to the Canadian RS cluster just in SAE instead of metric..... Hell if I have to be the first one to do it I will... someone get me a part #, and I will go to the dealership and get one

Because we have the Scion xA now xD so its not to step on the toes of that car:thumbsup:

duh he just wants you to buy the '08 cuz all they want is your money!!!

[peaches1973]

I can verify that the sticker price on the 2008 is about 250 more than 2007. At least here in my neck of the woods.

The only difference that I know of is the new low tire pressure warning guage.

Sure....rub salt in our wounds!
Toyota trying to protect the Scions. I'm going to settle for a Scion xD since the prospect of getting any options on a Yaris S are slim to none (can't even configure ABS). Kicking myself for not buying the dealer used 5-door RS over the border last October when exchange was still in our favor.

You should at least try to special order one. I'm pretty much in the same boat. I really wanted the S but I don't think I would buy a new car in 2008 without side airbags and ABS.

I just don't understand Toyota. They expect a demand of people to pay $1200 more for a lip kit and tachometer but not expect those same people to want any common safety features...

I was actually told by the internet manager that there's no such thing as a factory order anymore, just a preference order. So you basically just have to take what they're building.

Nope, Canada gets the 5-door, the RS, had the echo hatch, etc. U.S. only gets the least optioned Yarii on the planet.

Crap.. no wonder there's so many pissed off citizens. s-c-r-e-w-e-d.:frown:

Nice, I ordered just about the same thing w/ side & curtain airbags.

It's been 2 1/2 weeks since I placed my order though, and the dealer still hasn't received the confirmation/ok form Toyota. I'm getting a bit nervous.

How long until you heard back and got the workorder/build sheet? How long is your wait supposed to be?

Huh? 4 wheel disk brakes?....
But yeah... i think the DC header would be better.

[Jerkratt]

yeah 4 weel disc brakes :) i was thinking that to... might order that. and i got the yellow paper and put my deposit on it and everything so i know im getting it they said it would take 3-4 months.... at most tho lol

[IsLNdbOi]

Will the side skirts from the '08 S Liftback fit in the '07 Liftback? Anyone know where I can get them in meteorite metallic?

[yarisexpat]

oh, after all that heart in mouth sh*t, I can relax. I have the 08 model already. Except here we only get 5 doors. and the alloys are standard. as are air bags, abs, split seats, tacho. You name it.

We don't have an armrest in the accesories brochure though... GUTTED!!!

[GabL]

I saw a hatch yesterday near my friend's house in Toronto, it has front skirt and rear diffuser type skirt at the back, I asked the girl who was driving it and she said it is an 08 RS model and she just picked it up at the dealer, but when I go to Toyota.ca, there is nothing mentioning these skirts? Can they be purchased separately? I would like to get them onto mine! And is 4 wheel disc brake available in Canada as well? Might be able to do a swap?
