Yaris Sedan Australian Release (updated with new pics)
As far as I'm aware, Australia is one of the first countries to get the Sedan --- only a two weeks ago at the Melbourne International Motorshow, the release date was rumoured to be late march, and before we knew it -- it was already on the market only days later!
Here is Toyota Australias Official press release. http://www.pressroom.com.au/newpress...on=PRR&pr=1795 And the Official Press Kit (HEAPS OF INFO!!!) http://www.pressroom.com.au/newpress...tion=PKR&pr=81 I found it extremely interesting that the Yaris Sedan (YRS trim) is priced at au $300 cheaper than the hatch equivelent! Previously, the Echo Sedan was priced the same as the Echo Sportivo (top model). At a guess, it's a smart marketing strategy for Toyota to increase SEDAN sales . Anyhow, once they start appearing at dealerships, i'll take some pics ;) Last edited by Sp33dY; 03-25-2006 at 08:31 AM. |

YARIS SEDAN .... HAS NOT been released just yet. There is stock in the country, and some will be in dealerships this month. Official release will be late March - no date has been sent to dealerships just yet.
If all goes to plan, i'll be loooking over a new sedan in person late next week --- if i do, i'll make sure to take some pics and post them.
