I'm guessing the 2008s won't show up for a few more months (September?), but I was hoping some info was out there regarding some prospective changes.

Why do I see many saying they hope the Yaris comes with a tach? When I bought minen a few weeks ago there were 6 hatches on the lot... they all had a tach. Is this a striped down version dealers are ordering??

Nope, that'd be the 2008 Yaris Liftback S-models. They ALL come with a Tach, only way to do so supposedly.

It is, bar-none, the MOST requested 'oversight' in the manual-transmission 2007 Yaris Liftbacks, according to all three Toyota dealerships I talked to when looking for my Yaris. So I wouldn't be surprised at all for the dealerships to snap up any S-model Liftbacks they can. :-)

No, just the stripped down version the U.S. gets. You Canucks get the extras because we have the Scion lineup (which in my opinion has strayed from it's strength....bringing jdm cars to our shores).
