I'm not surprise with so many Yaris clones that have now flooded the market and the total lack of promotion of the Yaris.

I see an add on TV for a Prius etc every few minutes it seems but, I have never seen a Yaris ad anywhere.
Judging by Toyota's past promotion of cars they discontinue, the Yaris is now on their list for extinction.
For whatever corporate and/or legal reasons they never admit it publicly until the very last minute.

Their line for the Yaris, "It's a car" speaks volumes.

BTW, Toyota has been steadily loosing market share world wide for the past few years.
Yes, they still make good cars but so so do most other manufactures now.

In the US, GM is now on top with Ford second and Toyota third.
Honda and Nissan both have about 8% of the market share.
Cars listed as "others" have about the same market share as Toyota.

Yaris is not selling

last week I was at a rural Toyota dealer in Morristown TN. They had a new 2012 yaris LE loaded also they has a new 2012 Matrix and a prius. Strange they would still have left over 2012 models.

I also don't think the Yaris having only an e-brochure was a very good idea.
