That would mean no compact hatches, I guess. Technically the corolla hatchback would be considered a compact, but it's pretty big.

Still not updated on the website. No update on press site. Probably dead. Then again, Prius also still says 2018 on toyota.com.

When I have my Corolla hatchback and my Yaris parked next to each other the Corolla really isn't that much larger on the outside. I hope they don't kill off the Yaris though in favor of that piece of trash Mazda scrap heap but it wouldn't surprise me...

Local dealer [Elmhurst Toyota] still has a left over '18 2 door hatchback, white L trim. And it's the only new hatch in 20 mile radius. They have plenty of Mazda 2 based sedans, which seem to be bought by Uber/Lyft drivers.
However, Hertz has quite a few used 4 door hatches, 2016 and '17 years. Corolla hatch is pretty cool I think, in XSE trim. |

The writing has been on the wall.
Since having created an Instagram account specifically for my Yaris, I've found big clubs with separate chapters in Indonesia, clubs throughout Central America and more. I've enjoyed seeing them show the Yaris tons of love. I sometimes wonder and think about how maybe at some point in the future, we'll see a little retro resurgence of love from the Toyota community here in the US for the little Yaris; but that's probably just wishful thinking lol. It was also interesting to see one of the articles predict the death of the 86, which I've heard before, while another felt it would probably survive.

the corolla hatch is a really ugly poor excuse for a yaris replacement the car has been around for 19 years why are you going to kill off an affordable car that just needs things like what the GRMN gets into its us models why is adding more performance and stuff such a vast and bad idea to toyota so what if its faster then the corolla? its not safer then the corolla due to its size.
i dont see americas esp toyota aversion to quick performance hot hatches now all everyone drives is SUVs and crossovers and subarus and crap it gets old. were literally going to be the last of the modifiable japanese hothatches so we better go out swinging. |

If they made a high performance yaris in the US I am willing to bet they'd sell even fewer yarii than they do now. Can't blame them for axing it if people aren't buying it.
The cost to develop a new gen yaris would be too much when they've just developed a new corolla that will likely cover that part of the market.

The only real benefit to a small car nowadays is the price, but the cost difference between something like a yaris and a larger car like a corolla or even a subaru forester is not that huge anymore. I personally prefer a sporty, small car...but there are plenty of good ones from the 80s or 90s that you can pick up for fairly cheap and have fun with.

Yes its popular here in europe.
Specially here in Denmark where cars is highly taxed. 5105 sold in 2017 and 5482 in 2016. And 4349 in the first 10 months this year. Sorry its in danish salesnumbers. https://www.bilimp.dk/Statistik You can see 7 of the top 10 is micro and subcompact models. It sells really well when you consider that its an old model, there will probably come a new one in 2019. And i dont think that we will get a mazda in europe.

Certainly not a millennial. Nevertheless, as a long-time fan of all cars small, particularly hatchbacks, I made the move to (2) small SUV's more than a year ago... and I don't think I'll ever go back.

Assuming that's because they're bigger, offer more room, are more comfortable to get in and out of and more comfortable in general?
