where's the performance products? - Toyota Yaris Forums

We've got plenty of demand for $100 parts. Up that total to $300 and the demand fizzles. If you guys are honestly wondering why companies are reluctant to put together $2500+ power options for us, you aren't paying attention. Its OK because in the end nobody would buy them anyway... maybe Nutzoids and thats it!

I think people that are going to lay down that kind of money would just buy a volkswagen. ah, whatever

It depends on what I would get for my $2500!

It's not the cost of the turbo that scares me right now, its the cost of repairing a damaged automatic tranny or busted axles, etc... I can't afford to be the guinea pic, to find out what breaks, been there done that with my autostick tranny in my pt cruiser,( it breaks at 240HP if any wants to know )

plus voiding a perfectly good warrenty isn't my idea of fun yet either, if the car was a bit older maybe, I really had hoped for a TRD HP add-on, but I guess not.

It's true, why has TRD not stepped up with performance parts the way they have for their trucks?

There's more money to be had from the truck crowd..obviously, in their opinion, you're buying the yaris for cheap transportation. Thus, we won't be inclined to spend more money to go fast. Not necessarily MY opinion
