2018 Yaris?

[Kalispel]

Sadly, I would be surprised if they didn't drop the Toyota-made Yaris, and just go with the iA (Mazda) Yaris for the North American market. We will see. I wonder how long Toyota plans to run with the 2nd Gen Yaris underpinnings with incremental clever refreshes. If its not broke, don't try to fix it I guess, and it certainly saves them on R&D costs of creating a whole new model design - though snotty North American critics will crucify it for being 'recycled old tech' if it does make it over here (like they have been doing since around 2012). Toyota would have to update the transmission and pump-up the engine specs a bit (at the least) to escape their reviewer wrath.

Not a fan of the front/rear bumper black cutouts on the Yellow Yaris pictured. I like the tail-lights and hatch design better though.
