Yeah, for every 1 Yaris, they sold 100 Corolla's. I almost think they kept it around as a bait and switch by advertising a cheap price and then upselling folks to the Corolla.

Seeing the 2018 redesign Yaris around town is going to be very rare indeed.

With huge factory incentives and dealer discounts, the Corolla wasn't much of an "upsell" since it often sells for less than a Yaris.

Very true for the base model Corollas especially. The XSE trims of the Corolla are pricier but then again, I’ve never tried to see how much the dealership would come down. It will be interesting to see how the new Yaris hatch does.
