March Yaris Sales: Down - Toyota Yaris Forums

ewww, honda. lol.

I am pretty sure Toyota doesn't care. The volume of Yaris on lots is so low I doubt they can reduce it even if they wanted to. As it is there is only 2 or 3 on the majority of dealers lots.

,...and it turns out the big pickup wasn't traded in on the Honda. I saw it earlier tonight. Thanks for the inventory info. Another YW member who also lives in the Houston metro (CobraJet428 I think) wrote that a rep at Gullo Toyota in Conroe (the county seat of 'my' county) told him they could order a 5-speed manual L, so I may look into that when the 2015s first come out.

I agree. I bought a 2014 5 door LE so I could give my 2008 sedan to my daughter and there are very few Yaris on the lots and it doesn't look like many are on the way. Corollas and Camrys are what are being promoted and sold. Of course, that's where the profits are.

read an article today about how the nissan altima is being discounted HEAVILY to take a chunk out of the camry and fusion market share! toyota WANTS to stay #1 in the segment and has been offering small discounts on the camry to make sure the fusion(or altima for that matter) doesn't catch-up. ford has apparently been taking pretty big rebates on the fusions to keep up!

like others have said, the yaris is a low-profit model and toyota seems concerned with their 'bread-and-butter' business right now.

This car is is like a hidden treasure that few know about.

They'll come out with a whole new model, new engine (s), new transmission (s), new looks & features. They'll sell a bunch of them but they won't be the same. Glad I got on board when I did.
