Factory Turbo Yaris Rumor - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey, no one thought we'd see the focus RS come to North America but that is happening. Knowing toyota, they will want a piece of the market that belongs to the fiesta. Also, ive also read in numerous places that car manufacturers are almost loosing money producing cars like the yaris as sales are dwindiling. I would imagine a yaris on steroids would garner some more attention to the yaris segment and possibly boost sales. Hey, they've gone as far as to use the yaris platform for wrc over any other toyota/scion, clearly they have invested their time and money into the yaris name. I say, we will see a boosted rally inspired yaris come our way.

In the current Toyota/Scion line up, what would you say is a better rally car? I would think Yaris hatchback straight away.

I agree. But apparently the scion fr-s almost became their rally car for wrc as there was huge push in favour of the fr-s from the development department.

That would have been nuts.
