NEW Yaris and NEW to the board!

[33OH]

The orange was only available in Canada, and I think for a short time. It's Copper Orange Mica I believe.

Does not seem to be many available in yellow. Of course it is a new color for 2009 and maybe they are testing the waters to see how the color goes before making a bunch of them. At least it makes you unique. That's one of the reasons I went with Bayou Blue, I have only seen one other of those around here.

My daughter would love the Road Runner. She's a muscle car fan. The RR and the Chargers are her favorites.

06-08 in canada...

i wish we got the jolt yellow up here....or the carmine red

i see plenty of all colours of yaris up here (lots and lots of 5drs) so its hard to say whether there's actually a rare colour, other than orange (which, btw, is not that impressive looking in real-life)

would have been nice to get some of the updated colours north of the border to freshen up the yaris line a bit...

ryank and thebarber, thanks for clearing that up. That would explain why I haven't seen any here in New Jersey. Seems like a very attractive color, but then I am quite partial to orange.


PreciousPups4U - thank you...this was the only yellow car between two Toyota dealers. I suppose that does make it unique - although I was hoping to fly under the radar with black. I am surprised they don't make the Yaris available in Speedway Blue (Tacos come in this hue) - these cars would look quite comely in that color!

The Road Runner is my never-ending project car and I've owned it since I was 21. It's a Sunfire Yellow 4-speed convertible with a black top and black interior. I've been a Mopar fanatic since I was a teenager (I am speaking of classic stuff here, not Neons and Calibers). Suffice to say, it's mileage is a bit lower than the Yaris' . But, it's a bit faster.

That is my Jade Sea....I don't really keep the site up to date as I have more of a life than just the web...funny how many people out there live and die by sites like CarDomain. Anyway, I love the color of my car. They only real problem is that the paint job Toyota puts from the factory sucks ass and is scratched very easily. I am kind of worried because I had a friend store it while I am ovre her in Afghanistan and my wife told me that it is filthy cause he never got the car cover for it like he was going to...long story, a deal we had, should have known better and bought the cover myself.

BTW....still waiting on your pics!

Okay, I snapped a pic this morning before driving to work. I apologize in advance for the bug splatter showing on the front bumper.

Bright colors on this little car look wonderful. They make a statement. I would have gotten a bright color too if it was immediately available, but was not.

Good luck with your car as the more you drive it, the more you will like it !

LOVE that color!! Looks great! That's another one I haven't seen here in NJ. Toyota of Turnersville only had black, silver and carmine Yarises. After viewing your pics, you have me thinking that perhaps I should tint the two side windows and the hatch glass of my car as well. I do think the paint issue is a Toyota thing and not necessarily just a Yaris issue. The factory paint on my Tacoma X-Runner (Black Sand Pearl) did not seem to hold up really well, either. It was subject to rock chips, damage from insect guts, sandblasting, dull paint on the front bumper cover, no 3M protection on rear flares so they got blasted with road debris (most in under 15k miles). These were all common complaints over on the xr-underground forums. Get that car cover!

Thank you for the kind words! Actually, I probably would not have gotten such a bright color, but it was the only one immediately available ! Although, I am getting used to it. One thing I love about the car already is the super gas mileage!

They were not actually supposed to sell the S model for 2007 in the color. It was a mistake at the factory however it does match the VIN...kind of wild.

I like the yellow....lots of potential if you do a few mods, and they don't have to be expensive ones either. Def start out with tint. Makes life much better all the way around.

A Yellow Jolt in NJ?????!!!!!

Gotta be South Jersey or did you build one onlined and have it delivered? Haven't seen one up here due to the fact that Yellow isn't as popular up north than it is down south. I would have chosen it, but it's too flat of a color for me, not like what's pictured in the brochure.

Welcome BTW!

Also, if you don't mind driving, you should come to the Rockland Toyota/Scion show on the 19th. Near the border of Northern Jersey by the Palisades Mall. I personally would love to see it up close (closest I saw was at a dealer in FL by the gas station I was at filling up).

And it matches the license plate perfectly. That was the plan, right?

Hello and yes, I am in South Jersey. The car was dealer stock and a demo with 3600 miles on it, they (supposedly) used it to transport people home that were having service work performed in the shop. It was the only yellow vehicle on the lot and this is the only yellow Yaris that I've personally seen to this point. If I'd had my choice, I probably would have went with blue, but it certainly is growing on me.

Thanks for the welcome, and ROCKLAND TOYOTA (the forum member) invited me to the Summer Slam show on July 19. Not sure I can make it yet but I would sure like to attend. How many Yarises will be there I wonder?

Of course! That was my strategy from the beginning!!

[Astroman]

Welcome! I've got 2 Yarii, an '07 auto (meteorite metallic) and an '09 manual (carmine red metallic). Even with my modifications and normal driving style I can pull 35mpg without trying in the auto, and over 40mpg in the manual (which is stock). If you'd be interested I have some yellow yarisworld.com vinyl decals (or other colors) available.

On a side note, the stupid dealer where I got my '09 from just screwed the front plate to the car, they didn't bother using the adapter, so now it points up at an angle

Nice collection...and I was curious as to the plural form of "YARIS", lol. I certainly would not have minded a 5-speed Yaris. My X-Runner (actually, all X-Runners) was a 6-speed manual and was quite fun to drive daily. I hope to be able to achieve 40mpg with this A/T-equipped car. How does one obtain a Yarisworld sticker?

Perhaps some slightly larger screws along with the bracket could be used to correct the angle situation?

I see you have a '71 Galaxie - my first car was almost a '70 XL convertible with the 390-4bbl. Cool car with hidden headlights and plenty of bottom end torque. Alas, my father didn't like the Louisiana inspection sticker or the pond-scum line around the bottom of the car! Arrrgh!
