I feel like the car manufacturers create a false price point, How come you can get a fully loaded Hyundai Accent for $13k but that's the base price for a yaris?

Cheap Korean labor + cheap Korean parts base = lower MSRP.

I agree- for Toyota the current Yaris in the USA business model makes no sense. I think the only reason it's here at all is that Toyota just wants a presence in the B segment in case gas moves up significantly and the B car becomes the default choice for the common man/woman here as it is in many other places in the world. When and if that ever happens you'll see the Yaris being assembled in Mexico or the southern US in all likelihood.
