Nice link.

Notice it says september 2010 in Japan. Toyota (and Honda etc) usually get the kinks out of their new products before selling them in their North American market. They place an extremely high priority on minimizing possible issues for us to reduce bad press or loss of customer loyality.

You won't see those cars here until 2011 and we may not see that new 1.33l engine either, but that would be a huge mistake on their part. One way foreign companies keep the prices down for us cheapskates is by limiting our options and engine selection is one area which this practice is obvious. The Yaris in Japan has had start stop technology, nav systems, 1.0 engine options etc for years.

I'm really interested to see if they employ any of the manufacturing techniques developed for the new iQ in the Yaris as they said they would.
