How do you pronounce it???

It's neither of those. It's pronounced Yar-is. Hence the spelling.

"Yare-is" = "Year-is" which sounds ridiculous.

"Yah-ris" = "Yeah-ris" which is incorrect as well (but acceptable).

Think "Jar"-"is" with a "Y".

There will always be Yay-hoos who pronounce it Yay-ris.

Yar-is is different from Yeah-ris. Yar-is is correct.

What's the problem?

I even remember the original Yaris commercials (when they actually advertised the Yaris) and the guy said Yar-is. You can look them up on Youtube.
