If the sedan was so great, then why did Toyota quit offering it in the US market?

And if it is so great, why was it never offered in the European market?

And, if the sedan is so great, why did the hatch outsell it in every market where the two were offered?

Sorry, but it's clear the hatch is the superior and preferred design, which is why it prevailed whereas the sedan is history...

Ya can't argue with facts, but nice try!

Why did Family Guy get cancelled the first time around?
Why do fads go in and out of style every twenty years?

The sedan will be back, it's just a matter of time

Thanks, I forgot about that as well. Just another indication of the hatch's superior popularity.

Plus, the sedan I easily confused with the Corolla; but the hatch is truly unique.

I've owned sedans in the past, so I am aware of their positive attributes; but the Yaris hatch is clearly the better and more popular of the two (worldwide sales records prove that!)

A). The sedan is not "history"; Toyota has merely delayed the introduction of the sedan until probably next year. It will be available again with the new body style.
B). The european market is totally different than the North American market. Europeans like small hatchbacks, not small sedans.
C). Would like to know where you got your sales numbers; I could not find any. However, seeing as the Yaris in all its iterations is sold around the world, Not surprised that the hatch may be the more popular model, since Americans are not really hatch-oriented like the rest of the world seems to be.
