Buy a new Yaris or wait till 2010

[QUOTE=invol;234272]Agreed. Why do they keep insisting on making the cars bigger and bigger? Pi$$es me off. If I had wanted a bigger car, I would've gotten the Corolla in the first place. QUOTE]

It must be the American mania for "super-sizing" (look at the CA woman who just had 8 babies on top of the other 6)... "Bigger is better" and "more is more," according to conventional wisdom. I, too, bought the Yaris because it was the smallest I could get without going to a Smart Twofer (too dangerous for interstates). The Aygo/IQ looks intriguing, but I DO have to haul a kayak.

This, unfortunately, is a prime example of the "super-sizing" going on here; otherwise known as the modern American. No wonder small cars have had a tough go of it.

Also I read on Jalopnik that toyota will be offering larger rebates on its cars. Currently in Illinois, the rebate is only $500 and for recent college grad...anyone think it will go lower?

Thanks for your help and enjoy reading about all of your love for these little cars.

We were at the Dealership yesterday and the Mgr said Yaris has a rebate I think it was 750 which is a lot...and 500 isn't bad either You can look on the internet for dealer nearest you and it should tell you..You will love your Yaris they are sooooooooooooooo much fun...I sold my new Lexus because I wanted to have fun...And the only thing I miss are the cornering lights..

Sad, but true. Our neighbors right across the border are most heavy weights.
