Who plans on trading for a 2012? (Liftback) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kal-El · 11-02-2010, 02:46 PM

I know it's still early and details of the new model have not been released outside of these early photos (Liftback), but who is planning on trading either for a 2012 or even waiting for the 2nd year, 2013?

This decision is basically from what we know now, which is limited.

But I figured it would be fun to see initial thoughts in a poll.

Unfortunately, those interested only in the sedan (myself) have to wait longer.

No f'n way!

If that is truly what is in store, then one of my primary reason for getting my '06 no longer remains. That reason being the styling used to stand alone. It looked like nothing else on the road. Gone is the unique looks inherent in the current gen.

If the poll results don't turn around, Toyota, specifically the Yaris, is in trouble.

It will have to depend on new buyers.

I love the style of my '07. The new one looks to "versa" although a *few* things I like, not too many. I hate car payments so when this one is paid off, I'm not getting another one until this one DIES.

+1 exactly.

Well maybe change '07 to '08 since I have an '08..

Non of the above.

ryota · 11-02-2010, 10:14 PM

i personally think anything after the 08 is a small step downhill... but the 12... now way in hell!

Hopefully getting a tacoma truck

Of course, lol

Same reason I'm not voting in my own poll.

But since there's not even a spy photo of the next sedan, it can't be included here. It's killing me waiting for the new sedan.

Oh hell no. ugly ugly ugly. Too much squarey-ness in the wrong places. Not even if they offer it in that pink colour! I like that pink.

If I have enough money, when my warranty runs out in 2013 I might trade for a Rukus (Aussie name for Scion xB lol) if they are still being sold new here.

Otherwise just keep Yaris til something really worth buying comes along.

why? · 11-03-2010, 09:42 AM

i already have a yaris, why would i want to spend money on another one? Makes no sense, even if that ugly thing was attractive, there is zero reason to get it. 1 economy car is enough.

The question is, do you plan to TRADE your current Yaris for the new one.

Few people would own both.

It seems that most of us are keeping the Yaris for the long haul, myself included. But a large percentage of people trade up every 3-5 years. So this is a reasonable question.

Clearly, Toyota is going to have to hope for new customers (from other brands and models) if they expect the new Yaris to sell. This is showing that current Yaris owners aren't enthusiastic about the new one.

Klink10 · 11-03-2010, 04:35 PM

Personally I think that 07 was the year. If I get rid of mine it will be for a Mazda Miata or a small truck that I can double for a wheelbarrow and bike hauler.

That sounds like such a waste of money. The unfettered masses will learn they cannot do that with the way our economy currently is.

There is a reason though why the Yaris' sales is slowing down so dramatically. The real question will be how will it compete with the current much more numerous and much better competition than what they had when the Yaris first came to our shores in 2006.

wooverstone8 · 11-03-2010, 10:23 PM

I'm not planning on trading in the Yaris anytime soon unless I have more issues with the car. Plus I'm little hesitant about buying a brand new redesigned car for fact that it may take a year or two to get the bugs (problems) out...

Kal-El · 11-03-2010, 10:46 PM

Just thought of another scenario not listed in the poll. Who would buy the new model in the event that they total their current Yaris?

View Poll Results: Who plans on trading for the 3rd generation?
Yes, I plan on trading for the 2012 or 2013	12	8.33%
No, I don't like what I see so far - sticking with the '07-'11	61	42.36%
It's not that I don't like it, I just want to keep this one for a long time	63	43.75%
I plan on trading for something other than than Yaris	8	5.56%
Voters: 144. You may not vote on this poll
