When I Had My Yaris At The Dealer.... - Toyota Yaris Forums

nookandcrannycar · 10-21-2013, 01:21 PM

I just looked at the online inventory (chose new car option each time) for the two dealerships closest to my house, Fred Haas Toyota World and Gullo Toyota. Fred Haas Toyota World has 18 Yari -- 16 - 2014s and 2 - 2013s. Gullo Toyota has 26 Yari -- 19 - 2014s and 7 - 2013s. All 44 of these Yari include the VIN# in the description. The VIN# on each of the 44 starts with a J. IIRC, this indicates assembly in Japan. Are all of the North American bound 2014s from the plant in France headed for Canada and Mexico?

It is only October...I would imagine most dealers still have 2013 inventory. I lucked out buying the 2013 with the standard upgraded stereo, it is darn decent enough for this aging guy, LOL - the iPod hook-up is GREAT - the 2014 added standard daytime running lights, no biggie... this car has been awesome, 4,630 miles and counting...

My findings have been gnawing at me (even though, I know, it is only October

), so I decided to do a '2014 french built USDM Yaris' search on the DuckDuckGo search engine. I didn't uncover any new information re the 2014 USDM Yaris, but I did find a post in the comments section of the article on thetruthaboutcars.com site (hit #7 on the search). A reader posts about traveling to France and the joy of driving a 6 speed manual turbo diesel Yaris

. In the U.S., we can only dream
