They want to sell you prius camrys and corollas...they make more money off of them. Why advertise for a car that rivals the prius in gas mileage.

It seemed like they advertised the snot out of tercels...then the echo hit...I dont remember any ads for that...shit I dont think I have ever seen an ad for the yaris. When I was shopping for mine...the 3 dealers I went to tried pushing me into a corolla. I test drove one...didnt like it and it had less back seat room for the kids. I basically wanted a new tercel and got it. Crank windows and all! Tho I still miss my '06 xB from time to time.

^^^^^ I agree. One wonders if Toyota would offer a USDM Yaris if it weren't for CAFE standards. If so, I'd think it would only be an attempt to get people 'into the Toyota fold' at the lowest possible price point.
