Yaris sales way down for March '09 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I can't understand why the Versa is the best-selling sub-compact. What's the draw? It's ugly and get's less gas mileage than Yaris and will certainly prove to be less reliable (Nissan just can't match Toyota's quality). Is it simply because it is slightly bigger?

It is disappointing to see the Yaris and xD hit hardest (% wise) vs. the competition.

I agree that the Versa is one hella ugly ass car. The front end looks horrible IMO.

On my recent trip to Florida i saw a total of 3 Yaris on the whole trip,a sedan in the Washington area,a HB in Savannah, and a Blue HB in Weeki Wachee Fla.
I just dont think Toyota is pushing the car hard enough to merit good sales.On the trip 4 people asked me what car is it as they had never seen one. And the gas back down to moderate prices isnt helping as most people are staying with their gas guzzlers.
