No 2012 Sedan? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm pretty sure they'll have it again-- eventually

That said, if I were in the market for a small econ 4 sedan...there' so many new ones out there that I might just hop into a Hyundai or other small sedan like a Ford Fiesta. I would be itching to take a crack at busting those high mpg numbers!

The only subcompacts that'll be available as sedans in '12 will be the Versa, Fiesta, and SX4. Rio, Accent, Sonic (Aveo replacement) and Yaris have all moved to hatch body only.

This means that Toyota, the ONLY company to have always offered a sub-compact sedan (Tercel, Echo, Yaris), will become one of the only ones without one at the height of small car popularity. If this rumor is true. It would make no sense.

With this move and the fact they're carrying over an ancient engine and transmission into the '12 Yaris, it is clear that Toyota is concentrating more on cost cutting than competing with hot new products from everyone else and giving people what they want. Sad.

Another thing that came to mind that makes me go...

Look at Nissan and the Versa. For 2012, they have redesigned the sedan, while leaving the hatch the same for another year. Their reasoning was because the hatch is the majority choice in the Versa's case so they felt the sedan needed a boost. So Nissan is continuing and prioritizing the Versa sedan which didn't sell as well as the Yaris sedan, yet Yaris sedan is rumored to be done.

Go figure.
