Same here. Haven't seen any 2018+ Yaris hatchbacks of any trim level in Phoenix area yet (outside of a token L at a dealership for sale). None of the dealers have even stocked a single 2018 Yaris SE since they were released (& don't plan to), so the only way they will ever be present in Arizona is if someone brings one in from another state. Talk about a unicorn vehicle, lol.

Pretty sad, considering a (black) Yaris SE hatch is still at the top of my list over any other new car out there. Nothing else interests me due to unwanted design/feature decisions on the part of automakers. I really do NOT want a traditional CVT, straight direct injection engine, push-button start, remote automatic unlock/start of vehicle via fob, all those stupid sensor 'safety features' that belong only in self-driving cars or perhaps in cars driven by bad/stupid drivers, etc. The Yaris (SE) hatch is almost a dream car in terms of avoiding that garbage, and getting what I do want - plus still looks sharp in black.
