The Yaris is really popular in ... - Toyota Yaris Forums

CANADA!

I spent the weekend in Vancouver, B.C. and noticed almost immediately that there were a TON of Yarii around including the Echo hatchback. Seriously: I think the Yaris is the official car of Vancouver.

Also saw a bunch of other small cars, but Toyota must be the top-selling vehicle in this city.

Yea for Canada!

After selling my WRX (for school), I find the Yaris easier to maneuver around town. Parking is a breeze and gas is also super cheap since I don't need no pro-tune 94/91 octane.

Haha, yes there are indeed alot of Yaris in Canada.

Lippitt · 01-08-2014, 08:23 PM

I see, no wonder my friends from Canada keeps talking about yaris all the time

Thirty-Nine · 01-09-2014, 01:16 PM

Next time we visit, I'm totally driving my Yaris up there. :)

KCALB SIRAY · 01-09-2014, 01:37 PM

Oh, Canada! See what I did there? =P

Hi Thirty Nine
Anytime you are up this way, give me a PM and maybe we can get together for coffee or ?. I live about an hours drive east of Vancouver.

I guess Canadians are smarter than Americans....

The Limo 2 · 01-10-2014, 06:48 PM

Most likely less money in our pockets to spend on things than Americans.

Absolutely Red 12 · 01-11-2014, 01:58 PM

Haven't you noticed that 70% of members here are Canadiens? Heh?

I don't know how much you have to pay, but in Germany (and lots of other countries, of course) it's established for some decades now and I don't think that it's a bad thing.
IMHO the US would have more money if they didn't dump it in their paranoid war against terrorism ;)

Back on topic, I've noticed the Yaris is quite popular in Europe, the UK and Japan as well. I see them all the time when I travel there, but they're still rare birds in the US. I usually see about 1-2 per week down here in San Antonio on average...

Seeing that a very large portion of our GDP comes from our capacity to buy things, I prognosticate that there will be more Yaris drivers here in the States in the not too distant future. Ahhhh, democracy in action. Ain't it swell?

Hmmm.........The last 5 years have been my highest grossing!! I was down 30% during the GWB years, after record years during Clinton.

Whats wrong with this picture?

When I was there a while ago the only ones I saw were rental cars. My plan was to buy a cheap yaris down there and drive it home, but alas, they were cheaper here.

YodaBird · 01-11-2014, 11:19 PM

My insurance is still too high :(

I noticed after this horrible weather I hope it's not rust under the head lights or leaves, I just had it rust sprayed. :( I have to do a deeper inspection.

Due largely to your talent I'm sure......but QE1, QE2, and QE3 can't have hurt

......a shot in the arm to the real estate and financial markets. I've benefitted as well, but I can't help but wonder if it is a morally indefensible policy (broadly speaking of course, not individual citizens lawfully taking advantage of different situations).

Right, but isn't medical school and some other post secondary education free of tuition as is the case in Sweden? That changes the overall equation a bit.

Couldn't agree more with your last sentence, though
