difficulty finding a yaris

[eric_edge]

i live in the san francisco bay area and want to buy a new yaris as the going rate for used w miles v. new just doesnt make sense on the market right now.

i went to one of the big local toyota dealerships and was shocked that amongst the rows and rows of the various toyota models they had available, there were only TWO yaris' on the WHOLE LOT. FURTHERMORE, every dealer i spoke to practically walked away when i told them i want a yaris.

are these cars so popular that they're running out? (they're VERY common on the road here) and is the markup so low that the salesmen arent interested in pushing them? i got the impression that there's this mad drive for fuel efficient vehicles now and they're having trouble selling the rest of the stock.

i've checked many local dealerships withing a 50 mile radius and same story: 1, maybe 2 yaris' in stock

what gives?!
