US Yaris: Adding a tach?
The fact that the US-spec Yaris isn't available with a tach makes me want to pound my head into my desk and say, "What the heck were you thinking?"
However, knowing this won't solve anything, are there options for installing a tach? What about swapping the gauge cluster from the sedan? Does anyone have any ideas? (Hopefully the 2008s will come with a tach, at least as an option) |

Actually, the Power Package Lifback Yarii I've seen in the Toyota system indicate they're coming with a Tach. Whether they actually will or not remains to be seen since there's a lot of contradictions on what the Toyota website says is supposed be in each package and what's on the shipping lists.

I was referring to the site you can go to and actually look at the vehicles that Toyota currently has in the system shipping to the US...
http://www.buyatoyota.com/ The tach is indicated on there for the PP Liftbacks. It may well be a mistake, we'll have to see. When I called my dealer they said that the equipment listing on there should be accurate since it's coming directly from the horse's mouth, but I remain skeptical. EDIT: For what it's worth, the interior photos of the PP Liftback don't show a tach, so, again... I think it's probably a mistake, but it remains to be seen. |

Consider who's assuring you anything is accurate. Dealers are more likely to be known as the other end of the horse. As far as another option, you could try the French version: Attachment 196 Quote:

Well, unfortunately it looks like the systems are different across the US. If I put in "27540" for my ZipCode I can look at unclaimed stock for the SouthEast United States. You may not be able to search in your area.

To clarify, this isn't all the stock your dealer is getting in. For instance, if you look at 27540 and Fred Anderson in Raleigh, you're not going to see my Yaris since I've already put a down payment on it. As I understand it, this will only tell you cars that are still available.
