So if your question is, when will the next design Yaris come out, well that's anyone's guess. If you are asking when Yarii built in 2008 come out, well, 2008.

Ha, I wondered why you typed that until I read your location. :) Here in America we do things stupid. The models sold from September to September are the next year. So the sep Yaris will be an 08 Yaris. Why? It sounds better. As for the redesign, it's every 5 years. There may be some minor tweaks here and there, but the whole car is redesigned only every 5 years.

So yes an 07 October Yaris was made in 07, but it will be an 08 Yaris. I guess you don't have that on the island..

Ah okay, thanks for explaining that. See here, I would never want a car for christmas, because in a week it would be "last year's model", so you guys could get cars for christmas. Is that the only advantage?
But really, all that's happening is that your car year is different to your actual year (like your acedemic year). So when you sell an '08 model yaris that was made in '07 and you sell it in 2010, physically, it's a 3 year old car, but it just sounds like it's 2. Was this system designed to trick people, because Americans aren't that dumb.
