End of the Yaris
What are your thoughts on the end of the Yaris announced last year; what model do you consider the best model year ?

I'm not in the market for a new car, but I was a bit bummed that the Toyota-made Yaris is no longer available in the U.S. I owned a 2012 Yaris and now own a 2017 Yaris, and I like them both a lot. I dig the design of the Yaris available in Europe, but I don't think that will be available in the U.S. anytime soon (if ever)?

And yeah, it sucks that the authentic Toyota designed/built Yaris hatch was dropped in the USA in 2018 (& Canada later). I would have loved to buy the new TNGA Yaris hatch or Yaris Cross if it was sold here. I do sort of like the new 2022 Hyundai Kona N-Line trim though. Definitely more of a hatchback than a crossover & getting rid of the plastic cladding worked wonders for its styling/looks (though the split rear lights still look somewhat odd to me). It also uses a regular 7-speed DCT automatic instead of a crappy CVT. I'm going to go test drive one in the near future & see how it looks & feels in-person. I plan to sell my 2020 Corolla & get something else in 2022 - preferably a small crossover or hatchback. My 2020 Corolla SE sedan 6-MT has been pretty "meh" (IMO). I give it a 7/10 max, compared to my 2015 Yaris SE hatch 5-MT which I rate as a solid 9/10. 2022 Hyundai Kona N-Line Trim:

I've never heard of the Kona until now; thanks for posting. I think that's a good looking vehicle.

I really like the kona. We have a tuscon but I liked the look of the Kona more, it just wasn't big enough for what we needed.

Drove the Kona as a rental for several weeks. Unlike the Yaris, nothing to love here. Clearly a mediocre econobox hatchback with few redeeming qualities...IMHO.

Once owned a 2nd-gen. The ample dashboard storage compartments were on an unimaginable level. Very impressive.

I don't like Mazda's; they have too many flaws.
