I don't know if that is true. I think if they sold them here as an option, they would sell. We buy the Yaris to be an economy car, not a performance car. If I had an option for the 1.0 or 1.5, I would go with the 1.0. And if there was an option for a diesel, I would take that too.

A small inexpensive car with extremely high gas mileage is going to sell in these times of high gas prices. I would love to see how many are being sold this week in California. I bet you will be hard pressed to find a Yaris on the lot!

Really?


Back in 1980 you had to wait six to eight weeks for a small car. Gas had doubled in price to 58 cents a gallon.

Now gas is going over $4 a gallon and everyone wants F150s.

Maybe everyone on your short bus wants a big truck, but most of the people I work with want smaller cars.

How many small cars sold in the us vs how many cars with 6 and even 8 cylinder engines over the last ten years?

Even my wifes Camry with a 2.4 liter 4 only gets 22 mpg.


It aint even close.

My Mom's 4 cylinder Camry gets 35 MPG. You are operating on some internal assumptions that make you the perfect person to wear the title assumption king.

Sorry thats what you get when you drive a 2.4 liter Camry 10 miles to work and back.

I would think anyone who posts anti-synthetic rants....even includes them in their byline, is the professor emeritus of assumption....incorrect assumptions at that!

PS...get you Camry checked out, you are getting screwed on gas mileage!
