Sadly, I can probably count the number of 2015 Yaris that I have seen on the road since they arrived, on one hand. Perhaps it's just my area, as I don't see very many Yaris Sedans or 2007-2014 hatchbacks either.

For a 2015 model...they are ' everywhere' here in the Houston area.
:-) :-) :-) Maybe it will create a pause for Toyota.

they're selling a lot more 5dr L and LE to rental companies. Not being negative, it is what it is - it just means more on the used market down to road to pick from.

Yes...ive noticed no change in the lack of Yaris in stock at dealers. Btw, looked at one yesterday and thought it interesting that French content was only 20%. 40% Japanese (engine/transmission)

I read somewhere that Toyota's annual sales goal in 2015 for the U.S. market was 18,000 Yaris units sold.
I also read an article today that indicated there would be new color selections available on the 2016 Yaris, along with a different alloy wheel design. Perhaps they will bring the nice-looking 'Brown Sugar Metallic' that is already available in Canada (on certain trims) to the U.S. market for 2016. That is my 2nd favorite color for the current Yaris SE incarnation, with the 1st choice being white. :) |

FWIW, I saw two brand-new 2015s on the drive home yesterday. Still had dealer plates on them.

I'm really surprised that the Yaris doesn't sell better, especially the 2015, since most YouTube SE reviews are pretty favorable - with the only complaint really being 'average acceleration' (especially with auto) and '4 speed automatic' instead of 5 speed automatic or CVT. The new SE styling is well-received (exterior and interior) and the handling/brakes/ride of the SE are rated very high and on par with current Mazda 'fun to drive' dynamics. Really, the only thing missing for me personally is the lack of Pandora availability on the Yaris touchscreen radio system versus other current Toyota models. |

I'm tempted to wait and see if the alloys do change, and to what exactly - but I've already worked out a deal at a local Toyota dealership to get a white 2015 SE automatic in about two weeks when it arrives. I finally decided to go automatic (first one ever!), since I'm 50 years old and plan to drive this car for at least the next 15 years. Heck, it will probably outlive me, lol.
I was able to use the incoming 2016 models and the fact that so many Yaris are sitting on lots already around the country for 100-300+ days unsold to iron out a deal that I can live with ($16.400 base, $825 destination). With sales tax and tag/license/docs included total price was around $19K. The only added options that I got with that pricing was the front/rear/trunk mats. The first things I will do to the car is tint the windows 35% or so on all side/back windows (I hate darker back and lighter fronts), pick up some different alloy wheels (and sell OEM ones), and see what I can find in the way of a nice exhaust tip (which should have been standard equipment on the SE). I'm not sure yet if the TRD rear sway bar fits this car, or if it's even needed with the SE's "sports-tuned suspension". I'm interested in a cold air intake, but will probably wait until the car goes out of warranty before doing it. Last edited by Kalispel; 07-15-2015 at 05:12 PM. |

Sticker price includes the base price and the standard $825 destination/shipping charges getting the car from Toyota to dealer, so in my case it was $17.3K versus standard $18.6K MSRP sticker. Basically, I got it for ~$1300 off manufacturer suggest retail - or $1500 off retail technically, since I managed to wrangle the front/back/trunk floor mats into the deal also. It matches up pretty closely with the listed Kelly Blue Book (KBB) "fair price" value for the 2015 Yaris SE auto.

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52593 Again I can not swear that it's the exact same set-up on the 2015+ models but I strongly suspect so. Do you "need" the sway bar? That's for each to decide but I definitely noticed a positive difference with mine. |

I wonder if they think the buyer won't know what a sway bar is or what it does ? |
