I said the suspension is a torsion BEAM not Torsion Bar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_beam

It is a torsion beam as opposed to two independent swing arms that can be attached in a variety of manners. Using the Beetle as an example, The Beetle had two independent trailing arms that attached to the body via torsion bars in a tube. The yaris has a single unit suspension with a beam that twists to allow the trailing arms some degree of independence.
