You likely won't like this answer (re past posts about having outlived lived its usefulness when compared to new alternatives) but.....someone who still wants a MANUAL transmission*

.....and also wants hand crank windows

.

* I know, one could probably count the manual transmission fans on the head of a pin.....and the group who also like hand crank windows would be even smaller.

We fit the bill. Everything we have is manual (trans), wouldn't have it any other way. We only have one (of 4) vehicles with power windows and I'm not 100% sure you can even get a VW Beetle with crank windows...

read an article today about how the nissan altima is being discounted HEAVILY to take a chunk out of the camry and fusion market share! toyota WANTS to stay #1 in the segment and has been offering small discounts on the camry to make sure the fusion(or altima for that matter) doesn't catch-up. ford has apparently been taking pretty big rebates on the fusions to keep up!

like others have said, the yaris is a low-profit model and toyota seems concerned with their 'bread-and-butter' business right now.

This car is is like a hidden treasure that few know about.

They'll come out with a whole new model, new engine (s), new transmission (s), new looks & features. They'll sell a bunch of them but they won't be the same. Glad I got on board when I did.
