Finally saw the 2018 SE at the dealer

[justanotherdrunk]

i like the looks and would be happy to own it

but of course the dealer played their usual lame games on the ONLY Yaris in stock thats been sitting there a while and will still be there in 6 months

19828 + 11% OTD = 22009 which is ~2K higher than it should be and they let me walk

sad too because im exactly the guy to buy the car

Ah man I was hoping to see interior and better wheel pictures

I'm not sure how I feel about it's overall looks. I don't like the headlights and tail lights that's for sure. IMHO, the best looking yaris is the SE from 2012-2014

Perhaps a bit. Lol

Between the look of that thing and the price, I have no stomach contents left!

$22,000?

Used Yaris here I come if anything happens to mine!

I looked at the 2018 Yaris LE the other day when I was getting my oil changed.

I think the tail lights are an improvement. But that front end... it's aquatic.

And, almost $20K for the SE? That's insane. You can buy an iM (with rebates/incentives/discounts) for much less than that.

My sister just bought a 2018 Yaris, but I don't have all the details on it just yet. It is the European model though, as she lives in Italy. Still looks the same as ours however.

If they could spec it comparable to a Fit, it would be well worth it. A loaded Yaris doesn't come with very much. The only additions seem to be projector lights and TSS.

Yea we only get the standard 1.5 in the states I actually kinda wish we got the hybrid because they look pretty damn good. That is, the 2016-17 ones anyway

I like the new look. But priced a bit too high i think

[Kalispel]

LOL - $22K for SE trim OTD & still no side-mirror turn-indicators or the much-nicer LED tail lights found in other markets. What a joke.

In contrast, my 2015 SE was $19K OTD total, and that even included the $600-700 that I had to pay extra for shipping from Colorado Springs, CO to my home in Scottsdale, AZ, AND 2 years worth of registration/tag fees on the car (since I somehow overpaid my AZ taxes in that $19K).

On the styling side, I could NOT own the 2018 SE in any color other than black, to blend that 'aquatic' front grill/nose/headlights styling together to remove the polarizing effect it has, as well as blending the black plastic reflector cutouts in rear bumper. Heck, I wish I would have went with black on my 2015 Yaris - Arizona sun be damned. I DO LIKE how the 2018 doesn't have the reverse lights mounted into the lower rear bumper valance though. That is one of the things that I dislike the most about my current 2015.

Here's to hoping that the 2020 or 2021 next-gen global-platform Yaris (& 2019 iM/Auris) is a better effort by Toyota, and will survive transition to the U.S. market without skimping out on all the goodies. (if still even sold here by then).

What are those things attached to the rear, left window of the cars? Some sort of security device?
"the best looking yaris is the SE from 2012-2014". Another in agreement with that statement.

Isn't the IA more of a Mazda than it is a Toyota? Purchased a used 2016 Yaris 1.5 for $8900. Cost per mile hopefully will be around my Corolla I just sold with 390,000
