April Yaris Sales: Down

[tk1971]

I would imagine that the stable gas prices and the fact that Jeep Patriots can be had for the price of a new Corolla would stimulate sales.

Just another casual thought... I have one friend who I've known since high school, and all of my cars are "too small" for him because he's much, much wider than I am. Hard to imagine him squeezing himself into a Yaris. Ever try to lose 100 or more pounds in one's mid-40's? It's easier to go out and buy a Jeep.

That is more state of mind than anything else. When I was in high school one of our teachers who was 400+ lbs drove a geo metro. She fit just fine.
