Fading Away

You're not that far from me, T. I'm in the Inland Empire. Anyway, I've noticed a downtrend on here, but it starts with us. I know there have been peaks and valleys in my visiting of yw.com. Stop in when you have time. You don't want to miss gems like the photoshop thread in the off-topic section!

Also an IE Yaris owner....one of the few in this land of lifted trucks, expensive european sports sedans, and Jeeps.

Loves me my Yaris, its one of the nicest (cleanest perhaps...yes it gets washed!) in my town boasting very very few of them. That being said were I forced to replace it, I'd be looking at Hyundai, and Kia first. I dont think another Yaris would be a consideration for me.

I think thats a reflection on Toyota more than anything else, re-wrapping essentially the same car year after year...there are more compelling packages out there in the same price range but with more "content" and better engines now....and that is directly reflected on forum attrition.

I also believe the Yaris of today, will be a sought-after enthusiasts car a decade or 3 from now...but that'll spawn it's own forum.

Have to agree.....and the mix is more like the vehicle mix in Texas than any other city I can think of in Southern California. My best friend's parents have lived in Temecula for the last 20 years, after living in different hilly areas of Orange County since 1967.

re scooters (oops. your signature doesn't display in the quote). Starting sometime within the next few years, I plan to spend at least 3 months a year in Pinellas County, Florida..probably Palm Harbor or Dunedin. One of the great things about Florida is that you don't need a motorcycle license for most scooters. A great way to get to the beach without sitting in traffic !

Agree! ...at least the '07-'09's.
