If I recall right, there's some markets that had a Yaris AWD. I would LOVE to get my hands on one.

Toyota should sell the Yaris AWD here. It would be a close competitor for the Suzuki Sx4 AWD hatch.

I've kicked around the idea of getting a Suzuki Sx4 AWD but the snow has been minimal here in Michigan, especially last winter. I could have survived it driving an Mr2 with all season tires, let's put it that way.

You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

Only Japan gets the AWD version.

Based on 3 years of plowing snow with Crashy, I really don't think that AWD is necessary. Between the ATV tires and my 4" homemade lift kit, for ground clearance, I have never had a need for AWD, even when plowing 39 inches of snow after the blizzard two Winters ago.
