2008 Yaris models/options, straight from the dealership!

[WolfWings]

First off, Liftback has an 'S' model like the Sedan now.

Second, NO change in colors, slight tweak in what's available for which grade of model. Liftback gets the same colors regardless if it's S or not, Sedan can't get Jade Sea Metallic or Olive Mist Metallic on the S model still.

Now, the juicy bits, Liftback (all types) have the following standard now:

• Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
• Low washer fluid warning light.

And the Liftback S (ONLY) gets the following standard now:

• TACHOMETER! (N/A on non-S)
• Rear window wiper. (Option on non-S)
• Leather-trimmed steering wheel/shift knob. (N/A on non-S)
• AM/FM/CD/MP3/WPA/Aux-Audio Stereo. (Option on non-S)
• Front/side/rear lip spoilers. (N/A on non-S)
• 15-inch steel wheels. (14" N/A on S-models, non-S only)
• Sport seats w/ fabric w/ white hemicircular and black pinstriping highlights instead of the blue stitching. (N/A on non-S)

First two pages scanned: (Last two pages only show stuff like fabric and colors, all stuff already out there AFAIK.)

For the S type hatchback, will a rear defroster be standard as well? The rear defroster is standard with the S type saloon. It would seem natural to do the same for the hatchback.

The 2008 broachure is a little vague in this area.

Nope. I didn't list the rear defroster with the rear window wiper because it's only available with the All-Weather Guard Package. And in ALL cases, you can get the A-WG Package without the rear defroster by request according to the literature. ONLY the Sedan S includes the rear defroster and cannot have it omitted.

That would be EXCELLENT if you could scan it
None of the dealerships near me have got the brochures yet...

Converting now, will upload in a moment and update the first post with the links. :-)

Thanks!

i'm confused...you wrote that the s liftback gets front/side/rear lip spoilers standard but the brochure says it's an option....and is there anyway to have that illumination not be orange?

First, edit your post and remove my massive one in quotes i you could?

Second, left-hand page, right-hand column, very top entry:

Color-keyed front and rear under-bumper spoilers, side rocket panels and unique S badge: - S - S

That means N/A on non-S models, standard on S models. I'm not talking about the rear-top 'wing position' spoiler, I'm saying the 'bottom edge of the car' stuff. I always heard them called 'lip spoilers' at the auto-shops around here, compared to 'roof' or 'trunk' spoilers. Sure, you could have a 'lip style trunk' spoiler (what a Porsche 944 has for example) but a set of 'lip spoilers' basically meant lower-edge body-trim to be installed on a car, and that leaked through to my list, sorry about that.

This is sooo frustrating. A simple search would suffice:

This wasn't "the same topic" as before I thought, as I was trying to make it easy to find the actual information directly from a Toyota publication, and a short while later I uploaded the scans of the publication.

The topic you linked to was on the main page still, and I saw it, but this wasn't meant as a part of the discussion of the 2008 model changes. It was meant as a point-of-reference providing Toyota documentation scans for the changes, since the other topic was over-crowded with speculation, ideas, hopes, and the general detritus of any long-winded textual discussion dating back almost three months at this point.
