Yaris Sedan Discontinued?

UPDATE: It's been confirmed by another dealer now that had tried to get order info for us. Not publicly announced, but it does appear the Yaris Sedan ends in 2010.

Edmunds has a stub article up saying it's in the process of reviewing the "2011 Toyota Yaris Hybrid Sedan." Perhaps the Sedan will only be available in the hybrid now and that is the change? A Treehugger update suggests it's coming but may be branded as something other than Yaris.

If anyone else wants to try to confirm that info either way I'm happy to update the OP with what you find out. And yes I've seen the tentative dealer reference sheets for May, and they would have been printed before this supposed "meeting" we were told happened a week or two ago.

--------------------------
We're looking to buy a 2010 Yaris Sedan, but our local dealer just told us it's being discontinued, and we can't order one with the features we want. I've not seen that anywhere else on the net. Can anyone confirm that?
thanks

SEDANS FTW!

But uhm, hmm it just might be that that specific dealership will no longer be receiving any more sedans.
I believe it's similar to one of the more popular Toyota dealerships here in my area who said that their Scion TC's have been discontinued, but turned around and meant that their shipment of TC's are at a stop for the season.

It's probably the dealer trying to bullship you because they have an overabundance of hatchbacks they are trying to get rid of.

That would be mind numbingly stupid. I love the sedan, but IMHO it doesn't look right without at least some lip kit. and Spoiler.

smells of . You'd think TOYOTA would want to keep the sedan to compete with the FORD Fiesta sedan . We have a sedan and like it for its surprisingly big , ugly .

+1 on it being bogus. In June 2008, I was trying to get a dealer to take my order for an 09 5 door. Of the 6 dealers that I spoke to, only 2 did not tell me that there would not be a 5 door model in the US for 09. Here's the 2011 Yaris models:

Come on dealers really don't know half as much as they should. Every time I go to the one closest to me (cheapest oil changes around) I ask about the IQ or the FT 86, and They have NO clue what I'm talking about. None.

Thanks for the confirm. I was pretty sure it was BS, but I figured you all would know regardless. As far as I know for the sedan, the S series itself is no longer available, but you can get the Sport Package which is basically the same thing, even has the "S" emblem added. But neither the Sport Package or alloy wheels are available from all dealers; they're mainly only sold in the warmer/gulf state regions. It's the sedan with sports package that we wanted, but keep getting run around about it. I love Toyota, and we're a guaranteed sale, so it REALLY should not be this hard to just get the car. I guess I'll start calling other dealers tomorrow.

seems most salesman just read that pamplet in the show room and think they know all there is to know. when i bought mine i was stuck in sales floor for 3hrs looking over owners manuel cuz it was some "policy" required to do. fed me some line about in order for them to complete the sale they had to sign off saying that all points in the book was reviewed and explained.. really over board and stupid IMO

Sedan looks like a real car while those hatches look like a morbidly obese Smart car
As for the OP's dealer? tell him if he cant supply me with a sedan the Hyundai dealership down the road will.
