Looking at buying a new Yaris.

This is true, especially if you want a certain color. When I purchased my manual SE back in July/Aug (from another state), there were only TWO white SE Yaris in the entire USA available. Including all the colors, there was still less than a dozen in the entire USA available. Prepare to buy out-of-state, unless you are really lucky.

To put a positive spin on the lack of Yaris for sale at dealerships, at least you will be driving a unique car that you don't see very often on the road (depending upon where you live I guess) once you buy one.

I've seen a total of THREE 2015 SE's on the road here in Phoenix since they launched a year ago, and only a handful more than that of the L/LE versions. I don't see any Yaris that often, but most of the ones that I do see are original 2007-2011 models (HB & Sedan), and 2012-2014 versions to a somewhat lesser degree.

I've gotten more compliments and comments on my Yaris than I can count. It's been one of the more enjoyable aspects of owning this car. Yes, it's shallow, but I can't help it if the reward center in my monkey brain feels good about it.
