Well maybe the "yaris fever" will die down... but i have a feeling that unless the gas prices go down that cars such as the yaris will just grow in popularity... If you are really intrested in a yaris put in your deposit now! With all the people prepaying for the yari you would probably be waiting some time if you dont put your deposit on one... I was told that it would probably be a month + before i got mine... If you cant afford to wait then im sure you can find a comparible vehicle...
As far as the "new york vs standard"... in the last shipment we got in new mexico there was 2 standards and idk how many autos... the only one left was the standard sedan (less than a week after delivery)... The dealer said they have presold all of the next shipment that is coming in... idk wtfs going on but (at least in NM) no one seems to want a standard. So if what is going on here in NM holds true anywhere else it will not be as easy to get a standard. That makes it hard to find what you want as far as options go... Personally I will be holding out untill i get a black or blue standard LB. (Black very much preferred) with power options, but i would rather have a non-power black/blue than a power other color yaris (personal preference) Chickon you have a RX8... why get a yaris when you have such a sweet car? |

Probably a good idea to wait C. From the sounds of it Toyota USA mis-read the market, but they will adjust over time. In Canada there has always been more of a demand for cars like the Yaris LB, and to my knowledge there have been fewer instances of not being able to get what you want.
You might also find that attempting to bargain for a car that is in such demand is futile. I'm sure there are "deals" to be made on cars that are available, but if you say you are decided on a specific set of options you might have plop down a deposit, put in your order and wait. If the car you want is in short supply, there is no reason for the dealer to give you a price break. BTW I have no idea how Toyota does their marketing in the U.S., but for me it was a relatively simple process of picking the model (RS), option pkg. (Pkg. B) , and accessories (lowering springs). I actually found Toyota much easier to deal with than Honda. |

Anyway, she like small cute cars. but theres one problem is that, if she gets it, Im planning to put some mod on it (nothing major, say, exhaust?) but if its Auto .... Im not going to put any money but Auto going to be SLOOOOOOOOOwwww ..... (100 horsepower ....) I test drove the Sedan version so I know how it goes, yeah I know its not liftback, but they're about same weight so I guess performance would be around the same. |
