I would find that hard to believe!

Hey, the "Final Toyota Edition" 2015/2016 Yaris refinements finally convinced me to purchase a 2015 SE manual-5spd, instead of going with either a 2009-2012 Yaris Sedan (Automatic) or a 2012-2015 Manual 6-Spd Acura ILX. Love it or hate it, it will be the last (and most tweaked) incarnation of a "True Toyota Yaris" before Mazda takes over production of the all-new "Yaris" in 2017.

So will the new Yaris basically be the same car as a Mazda 2?

Any idea if 3dr, 5dr hatch, and sedan trims will be available?

AFAIK, the Mazda 2 was only ever available in the US as a 4dr hatch.

Considering that the 2016 Yaris Sedan in Canada (and Scion iA here in USA) is a 99% straight re-badge of the 2016 SkyActiv Mazda2 Sedan (which isn't going to be sold in the USA), I would be greatly greatly surprised if the "new" 2017 "Yaris Hatchback" for the USA/Canada was anything other than a 99% straight re-badge of the 2016 SkyActiv Mazda2 Hatchback (also isn't going to be sold in the USA) - made in the same plant down in Mexico.

Mist definitely in my opinion. The new looks in the 15 Yaris is quite striking. In my opinion, it's the best it's ever looked, and I had an 11. Very European. Probably one of the best looking Toyota's out there today as a matter of fact. Styling is not usually done very well at Toyota. The FJ was a real looker though. And the new Tacoma doesn't look too bad.
