How's that for a surprise?

Toyota posted a "sneak peak" of the new Yaris moments ago.

What on earth is with that head unit that looks like it was stolen from a Scion?

fnkngrv · 08-05-2011, 07:51 PM

I wonder if the rumors are true that they are "discontinuing" the sedan in North America.

staticorex · 08-05-2011, 08:28 PM

Well if they make the LB in a 4 door do they really need the sedan?

There has been no official word that that is even what the sedan would look like...they are shopped.

From the 2012 "New Car Features", which just appeared in the US Toyota TIS in the past two weeks. It looks like the Sedan is not dead yet.

I'm a bit disappointed in the drivetrain/mileage specs.

Apparently, they have ignored what Hyundai, Ford, and Chevy is doing.

You can't bring to the table the same power, dated transmission, and only a 1 MPG bump over the 5 year old model you're replacing. Not when the Hyundai Accent has 138 HP while getting a 40 MPG rating! 138! Plus, the Accent's interior is better than even this improved Yaris interior.

I think Toyota was caught off guard. However, since the Fiesta has been out for a couple of years (overseas), there's really no excuse.

It's going to be a good car, but sadly, not a leader.

Thirty-Nine · 08-06-2011, 12:18 PM

Can't wait to see this in person, but I guess I'll have to wait a bit.

teddy · 08-06-2011, 02:20 PM

Wow what a let down, not impressive at all. I had REALLY hoped Toyota would offer a smaller engine size, or perhaps a 5/6-speed automatic or CVT transmission. Fuel economy isn't impressive at all considering the Yaris's competition these days.

Same 1.5L engine as outgoing model, I imagine the same 4-speed auto & 5-speed manual tranny
30/35 mpg city/hwy, from 29/35 on the current model
No Toyota Touch nav system

No need to go for speed AT 5-6.
With automatic transmission, 5-6 step ATP produces more heat, this is a blow to AT, it will be less reliable.

If this is any indication, then it has a tach:
