edit 30k (ballpark sale figure) x 5000 is alot of money, seeing how it costs them next to nothing minus some new tooling. |

i did post pictures the GRMN im japan is nothing but a turboed corolla motor with some custom seats and body panels and one of avics brakes and shocks all which are avaiable online to be imported from toyota because i found an importer that will hook me up. its the money not the parts or the time, lmao. also i havent installed my body panels because i want the entire kit to be assembled rather then doing it in pieces. so id rather do it all in one go because alot of the things for it can be done at once like the blinker mirrors and the power mirror assembly and the interior panels are all one step rather then doing extra steps. also the GRMN seats are like 2000 a seat so. yeah. fund me bro |

Real enthusiasts build cars they dint buy them. Of the ones that do buy, they are not going to buy a yaris in that price range. They will buy a much more driver oriented car in that same range ie: gt 86
If it was so simple it would have been done. One thing companies like to do is make money. They just have a lot more foresight before they decide on decisions

What is a GT 86? The Toyota "86?" (Which I really like and is more than "badge engineering" because it has mechanical Subaru w/ Toyota fuel/spark system...something Toyota is pretty good at. Also a RWD w/ a boxer. (I'd love a FWD or RWD Subaru...1990 2-door FWD hatch w/ automatic, hydraulic lifters, and my total rear seat delete was fabulous in snow. Seatbacks rolled back all the way to the floor...best trip car ever.)

If you seriously think the 86 is simply a "rebadged emblem" then you should take a bit of time out if your self proclaimed 17 hour days reading about the Yaris and maybe read a little something else. I'm sure with all of your stellar business ideas Toyota's shares would soar if they took you on board. Start with Toyota UK as your have stated they are so fond of you. Also please enlighten the YW members on why owning a 2nd gen would make one inferior to an individual who owns a 3rd gen With more and more of your posts I seriously cannot tell if you are just trolling out of boredom and nothing better to do or if you are a 16 year old who lacks common sense and a big picture thought process. This forum has always been a straight forward no bs place to read info from, contrary to the many civic (and other) automotive forums. Your posts are doing a good job of knocking that down and filling this space with conjecture all to seemingly want to "fit in". Just let it go

(a little good natured, middle-aged rice-talk doesn't bother me)
DSF: You're OK w/ your oldest driving something like a 200 horsepower hatchback in six years? (I went everywhere happily in a couple Beetles--first the family 53 horsepower '67. Then my own (great uncle's) 36 hp '57...see why 100 ish is perfect in a Yaris? W/ way more mpg, interior room, serious heat, A/C, and a huge hatch. Also a lot less likely to barrel roll. With better rust-proofing in an era of worse road salt...I'm hoping.) |

Also, what's with the dickish attitude about everything? You were making dickhead comments in my for sale thread about a stupid steering wheel, seems you pissed off one of the very few admins left here, and now you're giving someone a hard time who actually did a successful swap on their car and actually raced it? What are you trying to prove?

A few years ago, maybe still, there was a builder who's resto-mod was something like "The 72 Chevelle SS Chevrolet should have built." (Actually might be similar for some of the other muscle/pony car models of that era.)

Well, here we are in 2019 and still no word on a 2019 Yaris. For what it's worth, the website still doesn't have the 2019 Prius up there, either.

The 2019 Prius is under the "upcoming" models.

Yaris hatch is still going strong, and Toyota offering special deals here in Australia. Toyota Australia also announced yesterday a 5 year warranty for all new sales.
