The 1000cc vs 1300cc - Toyota Yaris Forums

I think it sucks we (US) don't get the 1.0, 1.3, or diesel variants of the Yaris? If offered when I bought my Yaris, there is zero question about it. I'd have certainly bought either the 1.0L or diesel Yaris (probably the diesel option). I'm so sick of other countries getting the efficient cars, and the US being left out. You'd think all this talk about raising CAFE standards should certainly be a catalyst for bringing smaller and hence more fuel efficient engines to the US. Ugh. Like a lot of people, I'm not interested in hybrid tech. What's the point, particularly considering smaller engines get comparable and sometimes better fuel efficiency than hybrids, thereby eliminating the need for the battery packs.
Ugh.
