There is a difference between cutting corners and using better quality parts and having higher standards/tolerances on cars that are three times more expensive than a Yaris. If you think a Lexus isn't a Toyota, then simply look on the Toyota Canada website and you'll see that a Sequoia lists for over 60 grand in Canada before taxes, freight, pdi or all options.

The Tundra, 4Runner, Highlander and Sienna can all easily come in over 60 grand after freight, pdi and taxes.

In your case the only cars Toyota makes which are over 60K are Lexus.

Yes there is a difference, but I don't the believe the standards or tolerences are any lower for the Yaris. There is a difference in the quality of some parts as you are paying a premium for the high end vehicles. For obvious reasons the Yaris isn't going to come with a leather interior or wood grain panels, but I'd be willing to bet the paint process is exactly the same for a Yaris as it is for a Lexus, as well as the quality control on the engines, trannies, electrical system, etc.
