How do you think things will progress from here? Do you think there will be a 2015 MY current 3rd Gen that will be an abbreviated MY and then the 'next gen Mexico built' one will come out in the Spring/Summer of 2015 as a 2016 model.........Or will it be like the Fit -- skipping a model year and trickling along with some of the previous model year as new ? I was thinking the former (but that is only a wild guess), and that I'd start following closely (around mid summer) the cool Cars.com page you found to track the location and number of all the remaining 2014 Manual L 3-doors....If the count got low enough before any 2015 announcement, I'd just buy one of the ones strill available. If Toyota announced that (re USDM) there would be a 2015 MY...3rd Gen with MT and hand crank windows...I'd transfer that approach to the 2015 MY (realizing that I might need to buy one right away). Have you heard anything that might be helpful ?
