I'm French, but looks like we are going to make a few jealous here...

You guys don't have the corolla? The new Yaris sedan is the altis which is the corolla.

Our streets are jammed with Corolla's.
I'd guess that the Yaris Sedan has been more popular in Ontario than the hatch. Toyota must have felt an impact when they dropped the sedan. Some folks, including my wife, would have nothing to do with the hatchback.

I would be in that group about not having anything to do with the LB. I have seen plenty that are cool and nice, but the egg just isn't for me. That being said, the new Yaris sedan is a Corolla platform so I am a bit confused.

? We certainly have Corollas. It would make more sense if they took the latest Vios and brought that here and called it a Yaris sedan.

That is what I am saying. The Vios overseas IS the Altis elsewhere. The Altis is what they call the Corolla in NA. I have a friend in the military that has pretty much confirmed this fact.

Well, there IS a version of the Yaris Sedan in UAE with the 1.5L engine. Perhaps that one is coming over?

I mean, local dealer won't announce it before it's even confirmed by Toyota Canada right? I'm just hoping there will be a cheap version, under 13k to compete with other cars.

Anyways, I'm already liking the front end.

Bloody ugly! How in the hell will they price it with corolla starting at 15k nice LE 19k I'm mean really see no point.

The latest Corolla is ugly ugly ugly, cheap-looking, and strangely proportioned from most angles - most especially the goofy-looking S model (at least to me). It also appears too narrow and tall for its width - while the new Camry seems to get that particular aspect just right at least. I would gladly pay more for a smaller Yaris sedan (assuming I like the look/proportions) just to have a car that isn't an eyesore to me personally - plus some people just prefer smaller cars. I cringe every time I see the new Corolla, Civic, or Fit on the road, lol.

Understand what ur saying just honestly how can u price it besides the look u get way more of a car in a corolla I really don't like either only would take the Yards hb.

To be honest, I am not a huge fan of the latest Yaris Sedans either that I have seen in various international (non-USA) pics - the 2007-2011 version looks better IMO. The Mazda2 sedan is much nicer looking (the one before the new 2016 Kodo design), however, and its a real shame that Mazda never brought it to the USA (instead of a stripped-version HB) - since that would probably be the only way that I would buy a Mazda.

I was told earlier this year by a Toyota salesperson that the new Yaris sedan will be built on the Mazda 2 platform in Mexico. It will be available in Canada in September this year.

Yeah, I was just talking to Laz and he confirmed. He said that it is shifting from what is currently the way it is. Apparently they are bringing it very possibly as the Yaris sedan in Canada yet as a Scion in the US. My response; Toyota is really convoluting the market with craziness all in the name of the almighty yen.

To me a solid reason to stay away from it personally. If I want a Mazda then I would buy a Mazda. Why does Yota think in order to make the Yaris competitive they need to use another brand's mill?

[IllusionX]

I was thinking over it this morning that it probably going to be a mazda. And came this morning to see this...

So you guys will recognize the headlight here...

Much nicer looking/proportioned than the 2016 Mazda2 hatchback version - minus the fugly allow wheels. It's a shame that it will probably never see the USA market, and Mazda will continue to focus on the Mazda3 here, just like Toyota would rather focus on the Corolla for their mainstream "numbers sold" game.
