I was told that toyota holds high their RS models and if you want RS stuff you should have bought a RS. BS if you ask me. I didn't want the extra 5000 price tag I only want the skirts, lol

It was that kind of arrogant attitude that put me off the Honda Fit in the first place. Just cause something is a hot seller today doesn't mean it's going to be a hot seller tomorrow. And being fed BS is not going to instill any customer loyalty. So, when Honda comes up with their next Ace (they alway have something hidden up their sleeve), the Canadian customer are going to remember cash grab Toyota imposed by offering the well equipped RS model for a outrageous premium.

It doesn't help matters, when you consider that Canadians are paying more for their Yaris then anyone else in the world. When factoring GST/PST, we're paying about $19000 for stripped Yaris, US gets it for $14000 and for $19000 the rest of the world get a loaded Yaris that makes our vaunted RS version look like a donkey cart. So, we're getting shafted, but it's still the best small car on the market and we're willing to pay the premium, but we don't need the attitude on top of it!

If I were Toyota Canada, I'd be working hard at keeping all the newly acquired Toyota customer, who have migrated over from other manufactures. And if we want to dress-up our Yaris, Toyota should be tripping over them-self to give us a good deal. Not only does it promote the image of their product, but it keeps us finicky customers happy.
