Either way, the 2012 Yaris line will be all new. Not simply a facelift.
I'm expecting it to be more evolutionary than revolutionary this time around since this generation was such a leap from the Echo. But it will still be entirely new including a new engine and especially transmission (6 speed needed to compete with Fiesta and other upcoming models). Toyota MUST reclaim the title of the highest non-hybrid/micro-car MPG rating in the sub-compact class. That means a 41 MPG highway target. A tall 6th gear could easily do that even with no other changes. |
