Haha, I told you Mark! These companies are RUTHLESS!
I would take the first step and send a letter to them regarding the use of the Yaris trademark NOW. If nothing else you'll be able to correct the issue now rather than later. |

Υes I agree with ChinoCharles.
Better safe than sorry.

They probably own the name :(.
However, I don't see why would they want to shut out site down if there's no commercial activities going own with the name! Same a Scionlife as far as I know: just an enthusiast website. However, I don't think it can hurt to send them a letter informing about the website and asking them nicely to keep using the name or sth like that, but again, I'm no lawyer... |

I get to send a letter to Chevy soon to address the same situation as I am part of a team currently developing cobaltkingdom.com. It was funny this popped up, as I just messaged YarisBueller about legal concerns regarding the use of manufacturer trademarks a few days ago. Anyone planning on taking their love of tuning to the web take note! |

Well, I beleive the situation with Yarisworld is a bit different, over on Tundra solutions you have to pay to gain access to the knowledge base... and there are a number of other ways they are making money in a fashon that Toyota obviously feels is questionable. As most of the documentation in the KB that you have to pay to gain access to is issued by Toyota, it can be construed to be copyrighted to Toyota, so I'd say they have every right to order Tundra Solutions to cease and desist.

So are they going to sue anyone above the Arctic Circle for having tundra? Maybe this website has a solution for it!

Pay up! There are members posting PDF pages from the manual if you politeky ask ....but they are not accessible by simply joining. There was a site up with a URL from this group to download. Otherwise an CD can be had for 10USD shipped off Ebay. |

tun·dra (tndr) Pronunciation Key
n. A treeless area between the icecap and the tree line of Arctic regions, having a permanently frozen subsoil and supporting low-growing vegetation such as lichens, mosses, and stunted shrubs. They must be working on a Solution to the Tundra! Like trying to get trees to grow and stuff, right??
