There has been no official word that that is even what the sedan would look like...they are shopped.

From the 2012 "New Car Features", which just appeared in the US Toyota TIS in the past two weeks. It looks like the Sedan is not dead yet.

I'm a bit disappointed in the drivetrain/mileage specs.

Apparently, they have ignored what Hyundai, Ford, and Chevy is doing.

You can't bring to the table the same power, dated transmission, and only a 1 MPG bump over the 5 year old model you're replacing. Not when the Hyundai Accent has 138 HP while getting a 40 MPG rating! 138! Plus, the Accent's interior is better than even this improved Yaris interior.

I think Toyota was caught off guard. However, since the Fiesta has been out for a couple of years (overseas), there's really no excuse.

It's going to be a good car, but sadly, not a leader.
