It definitely will. The only differences between the 08 and 09 are in plastic - No sheet metal was changed. On the exterior, the front bumper, rear bumper, head lights and tail lights are all slightly or significantly different, but the rear hatch, roof, hood, etc. are identical.

Well, we have welcomed another to the family. My mother just took delivery of a nice new '09 HB, in the Dusty Plum Metallic color. I guess I have to get used to the fact that it is now not just a Grandpa car (mine) but a Great Grandma car...

Just proves the Yaris is a car for everyone. How about some photos of the new color?

Thanx for that info, I plan to put the 09 LB S model rear lip on my 08.

I have seen a couple of 09's around here, I like the spoiler that they added. Much better than the 08 OEM spoiler! I'm prolly gonna buy that spoiler and install it on my 08.

I'm getting excited, nervous to see a 4 door liftback, might have to go see how much slower it is to the 2 door.

They never do. Remember when i first started learning stick this would throw me off and cause me to doubt myself... ie. i wasnt confident i knew which gear i was in and always over-worried myself abt that doubt. lol.

now, i cant imagine ever caring...

i just set my hand on the shift and i instinctively can tell which gear im in. even if i didnt and doubted, say, whether i was in 3rd or 5th... a split second check at my speed and the rpms will make it very obvious.

but i guess that just comes w/ experience (doesnt take long to get used to at all i dont think after you've learned to drive manuals)

What makes you think the 5-door LB is "slower" than the 3-door LB? I don't feel a difference. Could be because I have the alloy wheels on this 5-door though and on the 3-door I had the steel wheels.

Curb weight is identical for 3 and 5 door with auto. 3 door Manual is probably a bit faster, as it weighs 45 lbs less.

IsLNdbOi · 10-30-2008, 10:37 PM

How much more do the steel wheels weigh compared to the alloy wheels? That would make a difference / cancel out the weight of the two extra doors right?

Latka · 11-15-2008, 05:39 AM

Hahah... I doubt it. We're talking about under a hundred pounds total. ...in a car that puts what, something like 90-ish horsepower to the ground? :) "Fast" is a relative term.

Can't wait to get my Yellow 2dr Hatchback. Hopefully I can at least order it before the end of the year.

Revsson · 11-15-2008, 11:24 PM

My dealer traded a Yellow LB for my car. Apparently, a lady in Ohio really wanted the
Yellow, and my salesman said that Yellow was a rare color.

To me the "S" front end treatment doesn't work with light colors. It looks like part of the front air dam has been broken off.

Funny how the base 4-door LB is more expensive than the sedan. I'll take the sedan for the extra 4" wheelbase.

justjesus · 12-05-2008, 09:08 PM

damn. i should have waited a few more months! That lower front lip looks crazy!
I want one!

EDIT: uhh, never mind. I don't like yellow post-its! That pic does look nice though.
