Well its been a fun but short stay...
Well ladies and gents,
I am sad to say i had to cancel my deposit for my yaris. I had been waiting patiently for around a month + hoping to hear that the dealership happend to get my yaris (Black sand pearl 5sp LB)... all i got in response from them was they had no idea when they would get it. But at that time i was fine with waiting since i was borrowing my parents Subaru outback (my car was totalled about 2 months ago). Well about a week or so ago my mom was involved in a very serious accident (someone ran a red light and totalled her car as well as another). Poor poor Honda CRV... only 3 weeks old with less than 8k miles on it... At least she walked away with only "minor" burns and bruises. Well i had to give back the outback... and as it turned out the subaru dealership called me saying they had a car i might be intrested in.... and i was. I am now the proud owner of a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX. The gas mileage is nowhere near what the yaris would be unfortunately but the 250hp def beats the 103hp the yaris has I wish things had turned out differently, but i couldnt afford to wait another 3+ months or however long it would have taken to get a yaris... I wish you all the best and will continue to check in here every once in a while... -DARK505- Here is my new baby: Last edited by DARK505; 06-25-2006 at 05:50 AM. |

congrats on the WRX. You should like it. Be careful they are easy to get the modding bug. I got way out of hand with my 02 WRX sedan. I do still have it and enjoy very much. Have fun and drive safe.

Yes, I too am soooo depressed, about getting my yaris. I was to drive to florida to test drive one. Thats insane I live in PA. I was told OCT, and to say a little prayer each night, because that was not a solid date... Toyota rules, but messed this time. You sould be very happy! My father was a Subaru fan for YEARS
Sry to see all the fallout from the yaris... F |

any hints on what the new yaris in development might have. i'd have to guess a hybrid engine. Which will then get the yaris up to 70 miles to the gallon. Toyota would be smart if they did that. Suprised they haven't said anything about a hybrid yaris yet.
if they did do that. That will be my next car. I'll keep the yaris I have now and sell my truck and get the hybrid yaris in a second. Last edited by foober; 06-24-2006 at 07:34 PM. |

I know it is unlikely but if Toyota makes a diesel hybrid, imagine.........

I have waited over a month... and would have been willing to wait had my mom not been in an accident. I was REALLY looking forward to my yaris... i am a patient person (for the most part) but since the toyota dealership somehow didnt understand the printout of the EXACT yaris i wanted and said they wouldnt be getting any of those in (even though they told me they would... idk) i guess i had been pushed back on the waiting list... i just felt screwed over... but still would have waited for my yaris. I just couldnt afford to sit around carless waiting for this alleged "yaris" that so many people have gotten... Last edited by DARK505; 06-25-2006 at 05:50 AM. |

Dang, A hybrid yaris would be super. Honda is gonna make a hybrid of their new Fit from what i've read. Come on toyota. GAs ain't going lower in price any time soon.
