Does the TS make more sense than ever in the US?

Auto climate control-unnecessary, larger wheels-how about the 16" alloys that come on the S/Sport package, rear disks-unnecessary, LED taillights-unnecessary. I hate to use the Versa for comparisons sake, but Nissan offers both 107hp 1.6L and 122hp 1.8L, the price difference is not that big, in fact it makes the 107hp look unnecessary.

so you'd say you'd get a base yaris, no ac, manual windows, manual door locks, but has a gas guzzling 1.8L engine? Makes no sense in the car industry...


News report that the USDM iQ will be fitted a 1.3L engine... i would die to be able to buy a 1.0L iQ in NA.
