Yaris sales have completely tanked

[KCALB SIRAY]

Advertising sells. No question about that. In the US, people who do not research rely on advertising to tell a story of what and what not to buy. Commercials are a big part of the daily life for Americans. Positive appealing invites are what we want. Then there are those like me or "us" that use the web to search for ideas or information of a specific car. Forums like this are both informative AND advertise the main product; that being the Yaris. So let us recap then. Commercials are few and far between and lets face it, the advertising of the Yaris on the main page shows us 7 year old versions of the car. This forum does nothing to help the sales of a great car, and it's a sad thing to see because of ownership isn't there. Kal-El is right when he says "They need a full change from the ground up. New engine and transmission next time.", but I'm afraid that ship has sailed unfortunately. Unless they can compete with amenities, they will lose every single time.
