So, if I need any parts specific to a manual Yaris, I was told that I may have to wait longer for them to be ordered from outside their regional parts supply chain.

On a side note, I had some lady at Trader Joe's the other day ask me what type of car I was driving, because she had never seen it before. I assume she was referring to the 2015 model and its radically different face design, which is like spotting Bigfoot in Scottsdale, AZ at least). She thought it was a new Prius model or something. Yaris - the best kept secret of Toyota USA.

A year and a few days ago there were only 7 white or silver L trim level manuals in the entire USA ( 3 in FL, 1 in Knoxville, TN, 2 at he same dealership in Ohio, and one in a Chicago suburb). IIRC, there were a similar number of white and silver SEs in the whole country (the exact number would be on a past thread). I can't remember the city where the dealer is located, but two of those white 2014 manual SEs were at the same dealership in Arizona . What a difference a year makes. Perhaps it took 'forever' to sell those two 2014s .
