Who plans on trading for a 2012? (Liftback)

[Vioz]

I like the front but not the rear wish it was altered differently, looks more aggressive than than the current gen, I'll probably end up getting it when I do trade in my yaris, really want a manual

[Yaristeve]

In 2013 or 2014 I plan on buying the Toyota/Subaru FT86A. Hope they don't decide to shelve it...

I don't plan on getting rid of my '11. I will keep it until it dies like all my cars.

they'll still be milking every bit of development time out of it then. I see the car being released in 2020.

If that's the best Toyota can come up with it would have to have the 84 mpg clean diesels and telescopic steering wheel they currently sell on Euro spec Yaris models before I'd buy one. No matter what the future Yaris models look like there will always be cool enhancement mods popping up.

I'm planning on trading my '07 HB for a similar-year Suburban... Once gas hits $1.40 a liter and the dealers are desperately trying to off-load them.

You're going to be waiting a while.

It looks ok... but I like my current Yaris. Not one problem with it so far, so no reason to be getting rid of it.

If anything, I'm interested in the Scion iQ when it gets here. I like SMALL cars!

I'm planning to keep my Yaris for a MINIMUM of 10 years, unless something strange happens and I suddenly become a multi-millionaire.

[Yaris240]

My 2010 hatchback has only 2300 miles on it. I do about 4000 city miles a year. So I plan on keeping mine a long time. I have had my 1990 Celica for 20+ years. If my 2010 Yaris is totalled or stolen, Then I would definitely buy the new 2012 Yaris, assuming it is still made in Japan.

[frownonfun]

I always thought my 09 was a tad less aesthetically pleasing than the earlier models but now that these new ones are coming out I don't feel so bad. If anything I'll trade for a celica or ft-86... someday.

Not for at least a few more years. It hurts the wallet to keep switching to every new car that comes out.

[Steve L.]

I plan to keep my Yaris for at least 10 years. It would be nice to pay if off and not have any car payments. I have had a car payment for over 20 years. I had about 14 different cars in my life. I want to see how many miles I can put on my Yaris. I have confidence the the car will go a long way. So far so good. It drives great!!!

[padre1964]

sticking with my 09 hb for quite a while. its paid for, reliable, fun to drive, and crazy fuel efficient. plus the new one looks like the butt of a versa as stated earlier. yuk!

[conkereye]

Our 07 yaris looks the mutz nutz , this looks too spacey like the honda civic.

[SilverBack]

^What he said. Sorry, but redesigns do nothing for me in the long run. I'm at a point in my life now where the main focus is on value and substance, and not the typical American impulse-buying to gain fake status.

With that said I can tell you mine's been very useful and just as easy to maintain, so I refuse to hand it off until my situation changes to where I genuinely need something bigger and/or better. In the meantime it stays with me until one of us drops dead.

IMO the Yaris, as well as many other subcompacts, are overpriced for what it is in comparison to other cars.

When you spend 12-14,000 on a car... the difference in payment if you go up to a 14-17,000car is totally justified by the immensely better cars sold for only a little bit more - and features you'd pay extra for on Yaris is standard on all other cars.

I totally disagree. For what the yaris offers, there really isn't anything that can beat it. It is among the best in fuel economy, it is much less expensive to purchase and maintain than a hybrid, and the really good features and add ons generally don't start until you are willing to pay around $30k for a car.

You really need to remember that the cost difference between different regions of the country are dramatically skewed. Case in point is that up in Maine where I am from you wouldn't find a base Corolla (some people's favorite comparison) for less than 19k for the 07 model year. A well equipped one was around 22/23k. They had the LB for around 13k and the sedan was 15k which was to be expected. Now when I hear that people are spending 18k on an LB for a 2010 I think that is well above the line of what the car is worth especially for a two door car that is not a sports car.

The 2012 LB to me is a MAJOR disappointment aesthetically. I sincerely hope that they do not butcher the Vios in the same manner. If they do then it will show that rather than leading the way Toyota is resorting to do what every other up and coming manufacturer has been doing which is stealing deigns and concepts. As previously noted by others, that car being shown is a mashup of what is already out there. A shame really.
