Yaris HB base model availability... - Toyota Yaris Forums

AutoTech1 · 04-28-2006, 10:38 PM

I live up in NY, and I highly consider the Yaris as a first new car. I went to the toyota dealership, but I only found one yaris. And it was the sedan, fully loaded at about 15k... A little bit more than that. Is it usual to find 1 yaris at a dealership? What's wrong? Is everyone buying them, or did they not make enough yet? I want to get this car as a first new car a year from now. There should be more at the dealership by then, right???

I would think so by then.

I've been told that Toyota is currently planning on selling the Yaris at about a 70:30 ratio (sedan to hatch). Regardless of what we as enthusiasts prefer, the smart money is on Toyota knowing what they're doing in this regard. I don't know about Canadian preferences (we have plenty of Canadians on the board), but it seems most Americans prefer sedans over hatchbacks.

I'll take a hatchback any day, please...

Yeah. Same here. I'm a hb fan.

Several import hatchbacks have not done well here (U.S.) in the past. This is probably what is driving Toyota towards bringing in more sedans than HB's. It does seem like many people on this board are more interested in the HB so maybe Toyota will rethink their marketing strategy.
For what it's worth I have a deposit down at my dealer for a Hatch myself. He has several sedans in stock but sold the only hatch before I got there. The dealer said I should take delivery around the 1st of June.

peace

a hatch is a really practical car, you can fit some big shit in the back with the seats down, stuff that won't fit in a trunk

also, i'm not very impressed with the yaris sedan, too much like a mazda 3/6 on the front

My dealer is selling every Yaris that hits the lot, often times before they hit. It will be months before you can walk on to a lot and see a wide selection of Yari. Just order one.

There is a hatchback near where I live... At a dealership. But it's automatic and I'd want manual. Even if I did want the auto, which I don't, I'd have to wait anyways, because I don't have as much money saved as I'd want.

I waited for a month for my manual hb to come in. Give them 6 months and their will be plenty of Yarises around.
