2018 Yaris?

[why?]

the engine is fine. Cheap and reliable. I wouldn't mind if they added all the features like VVTLI etc to get more mpg, and a 6 speed manual and 8 speed auto, but really Toyota USA does not want to sell the Yaris, dealers don't want to sell the Yaris either.

I noticed that both the 2016 and 2017 were/are being stocked at the dealerships around here even less than in 2015, and they were pretty scarce in 2015. You are lucky to find one token L/LE Yaris on the lot at any dealership here now. Most have zero - but lots of Corolla's though.

Here in Australia the Yaris is being advertised on prime time TV. Its's maybe not as popular as the Corolla, but I see a lot of them about.

They are hugely popular overseas, they have been the number 1 selling car in Europe for a very long time. The problem is for some reason car companies are afraid to sell these cars with all the luxuries in the USA. They think people will not buy a Yaris if it is 20k even if it has all the luxuries of a Camry and Avalon. They are of course totally wrong, but that causes them to do stupid things.
