Great news!!!!!! I love the current styling of the Yaris and am picking up a 16 SE before Mazda gets their sticky fingers on the next generation.

I can only imagine all the new (and unnecessarily) "tech bloat" that will be added to the 2017 Yaris revamp. Just look at the new 2016 Scion iA and the iM, if you want a preview.

Plus, I'm not eager to purchase a vehicle with a direct-injection engine in its current state of design evolution/development. It's a more problematic engine, will require more maintenance/service, and shouldn't even be using added-ethanol gasoline at all - which is all they have in AZ and the most of the rest of the USA unfortunately. It's just not worth the headache IMO, for a few extra MPG and a bit more HP. I would rather just see a slightly beefier HP version of the current Yaris engine in the newer Yaris model (only for the SE, if nothing else), and a finally-upgraded 5/6 speed automatic (since the current older-school 4-speed auto freaks most people out who want automatics). Also, a 6-speed manual instead of a 5 would be nice. Not much else I would change over the 2015/2016 from a core mechanical standpoint.
