I used to watch it when I was a kid, and PBS was one of the four channels that we got out in the woods. Don't know when it comes on nowadays though!

But, according to their website, the Yaris episode will be on the 2nd... (and I remember watching new episodes on the weekend way back then...?)

I could just scream when they describe the Yaris as: only a well built reliable car nothing more.

Like...what else is there?

style? The 2nd gen Yaris adds were great, and gave the vehicle a personality. They need an ad campaign.

They also dissed the center mounted speedo. Creatans.

But should they be marked for death like CU and Edmunds?


Just a little joke there ha ha.

Wait a minute wait a minute.

Theyre calling this the THIRD gen? That would make the ECHO the FIRST gen?

Why isnt my 09 Yaris the FIRST gen?

What am I getting wrong here?
