well that, and if i'm not wrong, the LB has been in existence for how many years relative to the sedan, 5? and, the sedan is a new iteration designed specifically for the US? if so, give it time, mods will abound in short order given the demand and growing popularity of the Yaris. i've actually seen more sedans down here in South Florida, with only a sprinkle of the LBs here and there.

i agree with what's been said thus far. me and the wife would very likely have gone for the LB if there were a 5 door available in the US. then it'd be the best of both worlds. but since it's a split between the 3DR and the Sedan we went with the 4DR option because of the "people mover" option. imo, nothing is more ridiculous than going out for a night on the town and having your friends have to contort themselves out of the back of a coupe. even so, if we weren't planning on having kids in the next 5 years we would have been eyeing the 3DR to save money on the purchase.

Just like i said, 4dr/5dr/Auto/any color = Family, 2dr/3dr/Manual/red ,yellow, or some blue = Sporty, there... thats an easiest way to look at it, and if you are confused again, remember it again, 4dr/5dr/Auto/any color = Family, 2dr/3dr/Manual/red, yellow, or some blue = Sporty, hopefuly you understand what you want and pick the right one, because once you buy the car , theres no going back to the dealership

liftback all the way. they're rarer, which makes them very unique. still cant call it sexy, but it is very good looking. it perfectly fits our situation though. just check the signature. if we need a people mover, we use the van. if we need to haul crap, we use the van. if we need to go anywhere with the kids, we use the van. when the kids are asleep and canyon roads are calling, thats where the yaris comes into play...
