Yaris HB's seem rare on Long Island, a lot of Versa's though - Toyota Yaris Forums

Versas are more common probably because they cost a LOT less than Yarises.

I remember when shopping for my Yaris, I decided to look at the Versa for "due diligence". Walking up to the demo car, I immediately disliked it's styling (especially that triangular shaped C-pillar). Then, it only took about 10 seconds sitting in the car to thoroughly dislike the interior. I think Nissan took a LOT of shortcuts to undercut the Yaris by something like $2000 (?). There is just something cheap feeling about it...

If all you are looking for is a transportation appliance (which most Americans are at this price point), then the Versa is just fine. I actually would prefer to like the car I drive and cars mean much more than just an appliance so, of course, I went with the Yaris...
