Smart entry system?

[JustAnotherAsian]

Smart entry system?
i believe so.

i think they get power-folding mirrors as well, but i'm not sure.

shyeah. jdm ftw indeed.

[fnkngrv]

Those storage units are awesome too:headbang:


we don't get that....not so awesome:evil: :thumbdown:

[Idjiit]

Yeah man, the lack of storage hooks makes me want to burn a small village down. You tell 'em.

[Dawn Eshelman]

Did you check out the colors, and the handicap seat?

[JustAnotherAsian]

if that's not enough, here's what i said in a similar thread...


i'm actually not sure if they are power folding:

sorry for the hijack. i got link-happy. lol.


edit: that's just the tip of the iceberg. despite the fact i can't read japanese, the site was easy to navigate, but i'm sure i'm missing a whole lot of other jdm options because of that.

[TRD_Yaris]

smart entry sytem? so the american equivalent is "get carjacked while trying to stick a key into a 1/8th inch hole" systeM?

[boxerboy]

Why would you get mad?:iono:

[Hyde]

if they offer all this options, all of you wouldn't even be buying this car and all be bashing about 25k for an Yaris is totally not worth it. etc

since toyota know americans would not buy all these options on an entry level car,they decided not to bring it over.

if they had these options, i'll definatly get it.

[fnkngrv]

I would not care if it was 25k....well maybe just a little...I didn't by my car because of the price...I bought it because I love the car.....I am following a pattern I think cause I also bought my 96 Tercel 2 dr coupe new and it was entry level....but once again I loved the car.

[YarisCulture]

thats just more stuff that can cause problems in the future

[Idjiit]

Exactly.

You hit it right on the head...there's just no or very very very small market for premium sub-compacts in the U.S., and besides the Yaris is positioned as the entry econo car and Toyota has the Corolla and other bigger cars that are already in the 20-25k range. But an American (GENERALLY speaking) would scoff at such an idea of paying north of 20k for a car the size of the Yaris. Anyway I'm starting to sound like a broken record, Anyway I'm starting to sound like a broken record, Anyway I'm-just kidding:laugh: :laugh:

[fnkngrv]

I would love to have the steering wheel controls! That would rock...I have them in my 05 Freestar and love it.

[as400g33k]

Outside of Japan, I think the European Yaris gets more goodies as standard or options than the rest of the world. About the only good thing we got in Aus is we can have the option of steering-wheel audio controls.

[Hyde]

i really wished they told the TRD Vitz Cup Car here.

fully loaded RS with all the TRD goodies and ready for track use out of the dealer with full rollcage, 4pt harness lol

[fnkngrv]

It would have been so nice to have had that storage bin in front of the steering wheel tho...I could have set up a custom docking unit for my Archos DV700 inside it which would have been so sweet.:iono:

DUDE!! that would be sweet.. the archos is an Audio/Video unit, correct?? you would be able to see it vERY well from in between the steering wheel..you just couldn't watch tv while you're turning ...for too many reasons than i should have to explain :laughabove: :bellyroll:
