It looks like I won't be getting mine any time soon either. Heck, I might drive down to texas to see how it looks.

Heh, mine is either going to get here on Friday or Saturday. In any case, it's going to get here right before I have to take a business trip to California, so I won't get to drive it for a week even if it comes on Friday. Argh.

Seriously. I'm crossing my fingers that it gets here Friday so I can get it before I have to drive up to PA for the weekend. That would give me a convenient highway-speed period of about 800 miles in which to break it in. :D

Hopefully you do. Just make sure to do your best to annoy everyone else on the roads by not going the same speed so your vehicle breaks in properly.

I was really on the fence about getting a Fit or a yaris liftback

I overlooked the center mounted gauges, I figure I will get used to them

I overlooked every magazine saying the fit is way more sporty, I like the bulldog look of the yaris and i know i basic suspension mods would transform it.

I can't overlook the car not having a tach though,

way to go toyota.

The lack of tach sucks, especially while you're in the break-in period and want to have fun without screwing anything up, but ultimately it's more of an annoyance than anything else. The engine is easily loud enough to tell when you need to shift.

Not to mention an aftermarket tach is easily hooked up.

ya, but they look like crap. Never seen one that I liked. Besides, I dont see an aftermarket tach flowing well with the interior of the yaris.

I may have to just wait and hope the next year model or facelift or whatever comes with a tach.

Beater car time I guess

How they look is obviously a matter of personal opinion.

Under "spirited" driving, a tach would be of much assistance. Let's hope TRD has an option, or the 2008s have a tach.

yeah, i only refer to the tach when i'm having some fun, for 99% of driving it is unnecessary,

but how much money is toyota going to save by not including a tach?
and is it worth the lost customers?

the thing that drives me nuts (and i don't want to harp on it too much, but what the hell) is the lack of 60/40 split rear seats except on the rs models,
i almost didn't get the yaris because of that, and i'm sure toyota will definitely lose customers to the honda fit because of a small detail like that.

The big deal is if I'm buying a new car, I don't want to have to add an aftermarket tachometer. I want it to come with one. Plus, IMO, I think an aftermarket tach won't look great in the Yaris' interior.
