Don't be ridiculous.

We're getting the styling but none of the other goodies Europe gets. If we did, we'd be looking at a $18-$20k Yaris.

But we are getting the structural (and the like) and some interior changes that would be part of the 'bones'....seperate from transmissions, drive wheels, engines, power packages, etc which would be different in different parts of the world. I was looking most significantly at 3 things re this 'refresh'....for 2 things to remain (manual transmission and hand crank windows) and 1 to change (the light colored inserts...which I despise...on the comfortable seats). I can live with power windows if I have to....hand crank windows remaining = unknown ? One can always change the seats, but I hope some dark colored option (for the whole seating surface) is available. The most important of the 3, to me, is the manual transmission . Thank you so much for finding and posting the information .


When I plug in 5-speed manual and the keywords White, Silver on the cars.com link roxy1 posted....for the last couple of weeks...I've been getting (including today) 15 hits....two LEs are listed as manuals (wrong..must be automatics)...three of them are White 5 speed Ls, but two of those are 2012s and one is a 2013 (but listed as new). One is a 5-speed White 2014 SE. That leaves nine Ls, five Silver (three in Florida, and two in Ohio) and four White (one each in Oregon Tennessee, Illinois, and Florida). I'm winding up a trip I started on June 16th, and after leaving Washington state I was tempted to stop....in Oregon...and later in Ohio...and swap my Yaris for one of those nine. However, I decided to wait to see if the 5-speed manual would still be available on the 2015 USDM Yaris . Thanks again for providing this information . Some of roxy1's posts re standardization of Toyota's processes throughout the world, plus (last year) seeing (at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama) the level of robotics/automation in 2013+ auto manufacturing, plus reading the development article I found (link on the thread I started re that) contributed (among other things) to my thinking the 2015 is likely worth the risk. I'll have to sit in one though, before making a final decision (although, if I could find a 2nd Gen with under 24k miles on it...as one member recently did...keeping all the 'nooks and crannies' in my interior would be tempting). My 2007 was the first year for the 2nd Gen in the U.S. (I know, Canada = as a 2006 model), and the only negative was the faulty voltage regulator that was fixed in later models (2009+ ?).



Re one of your pics, the black seating surface and the USB (and AUX ?) next to the 12v plug would be features that would be just fine with me on USDM models.

^^^^^ Any idea when the 2015 Yaris will first be available in the U.S. ? *
