4 Door/2 Door: Why is the US hatchback only a 2 door?

I'm going to agree with this. Hatchbacks are still a touchy genre in the U.S., and Toyota probably doesn't want to have too many in its lineup at this moment. I would by a four-door Yaris over a two door, given the option, and probably would buy a four-door Yaris over an xA, too. Granted, I haven't driven either car. I own an xB, though.
