I guess it depends on your demographics as well. I bought my Yaris for $14K and that's because my wife's uncle is a next door neighbor and friend of the dealership owner. They can't keep the Yaris on the lot. There is NO WAY a Yaris is selling for less than sticker at this dealership.

Umm, we can still order a stripped Accent for 10k'ish in Canada...

I am extremely happy with my Yaris, and don't regret any of the $15k I spent on her :)

I had an Accent. It was about 6 years old and needed brakes, the brake disc was integrated to the hub. A $50 brake job was $1000 in parts doing it yourself. Took it to the scrap yard and got $200 for a 60k mile car, never again will I buy a Hyandai.



Really I believe with the economy the $12k Yaris I just bought will be selling for $9k in the fall. The Japanese have very low margins and can recovery thru bad times by slashing prices.


Hell I just bought a hooker who was an unemployed Registered Nurse! If an RN can't get a real job we are near a great depression.

Don't judge Hyundai based on the 1st gen (assumed by age) Accent. Hyundai was still junk back then, but they are now among the highest rated in quality/reliability. The new Accent is very well built and a nice car.

But the Rouge starts at 20k for the 4cyl while the Venza starts at 30k for the same power and much more weight. I was just wondering why the extra 10k for a vehicle half the size and no extra features the Rouge doesn't already have?? And when I went to Toyota and asked, all the salesmen looked up the stats and sat there stumped. They couldn't give me an answer either.
The Venza starts at $25,975 (not $30K). $30K buys you the top AWD V-6 model. This makes it about $5K more than the base Rogue.

You state that the Rogue is twice the size, a clear exaggeration of course, but it should be noted that the Venza is larger in every dimension other than height.

It really is amusing to think that the Rogue is comparable to the Venza.

The Venza could easily pass as a Lexus - look at the luxury interior. 19" wheels even!

The Roque is an economy SUV. Compare below.

The Venza is worth more than the $5K premium over Rogue.

If the Toyota sales people couldn't answer this question, then they need to find a new line of work because they know nothing about cars.

If u're comparing toyota and nissan, the Rav4 is the Rogue's direct compition. I took the rogue for 3 test drives before settled on the Rav4. The 4cyl Rav4 has a nicer interior, more refined driving charateristic, faster off the lights and a significnaly better awd system.

The Venza is a bigger car then the Rav4 with a nicer interior and better seats, both front and back. It's a more upscale car, (more car then truck) which justify the extra price premium.

Well, the ball types are considered cheaper and sometimes gets criticized in more expensive cars.

FYI, a 2006 toyota ECHO is STILL going for around $6000 (remember, this is the Yaris' daddy)

good luck finding a new Yaris for $9000 ;)
