As an example i accompanied my Mom in her Rav4 to her dealership in Homossasa Fla. struck me as odd that there wasnt a single Yaris on the lot, i asked the service manager how come no Yaris on the lot? he answered that they dont get much demand for the Yaris,,well i guess not if people dont even know they exist..
Good for you for venturing off the beaten path, so to speak. Did you visit DC, Philly, NYC and Boston?....the places where the scramble for a parking space might be equal to or more intense than in Montreal. If so, the fact that you saw so few is even more amazing. I spent about a month in Florida last year and I didn't see too many Yarii. Most of the ones I did see were in and around Jacksonville.

As it was still winter in the north we drove from Montreal to Ocean City Maryland and spent a few days, from their did the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and then drove the entire length of the Outer Banks stopping in Nags Head then again in Okracoke,finally ending up in North Myrtle Beach where after a few days the wife had to fly back to Montreal to go to work, i carried on with another 3 weeks in Florida
I sometimes wonder if Americans in general just dont like small economical cars and feel diminished in some way if they arent driving a big pickup or suv,Anyhow its their dime at the pump..
Heres a pic of my little road warrior..
