Would Americans Buy a Diesel Yaris? Would it Sell Well in North America? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I would, but only if the additional cost of buying one with a diesel motor would pay for itself in fuel economy savings within a year. Otherwise the loss in power combined with the extra cost just wouldn't make sense to me.

Just an FYI, but the Turbo Diesel Yaris in Europe is faster than the U.S. Yaris. It also has twice the performance potential as the gasoline engine.
