The French ones are 1.8L I think.

I'm right happy with the 1.5, actually.

But I do love Diesels with all their quirks.

67mpg it can have all the quirks it wants!

Yaris Hilton · 08-13-2009, 04:31 PM

Oh yeah, for sure! I'd rather have Diesel quirks than hybrid quirks. Toyota doesn't want a vehicle with "conventional" technology rivaling their hybrid for economy in this market.

I snapped these Yarii in France a couple of months ago. It looks to me like the body style is slightly different (notice the window in the back is like cut?) and of course, they have a bit bigger engine.

no. the 1.8 is japan. the european are 1.0/1.33/1.4 turbodiesel

CtrlAltDefeat · 08-14-2009, 07:44 AM

hmmm I'm looking at the back window of mine and those pics and I can't tell any difference... If you mean the back door windows, I think the windows on the 5 door Yari are the same. The bottom one is the previous generation, isn't it?

Yep, the one with the big ass dent in the door is the old first generation Yaris that sold in Europe, Canada and everywhere else except the US from 1999–2005 (we had the Echo during that time period, as did Australia, Hong Kong and several other Asian markets. It also sold as the Echo hatchback in Canada from 2004 to 2005).

I have seen tons of second generation Yarii in Europe and, other than the engines available, physically they are no different than the ones we get here. Well, there are some differences (taillights, etc), but the bodies are the same...

Treyz · 08-15-2009, 12:58 PM

Do the European ones also rock the hole in the front bumper for the towhook?

Basically the cars sold in the US that have the spot for a front towhook in the bumper are built outside of the US. Notice how the Camry doesn't have one sold here in the states? That's because the ones sole here are built in the US.

The JDM Camry has it.

Kanto I believe only does the sedans......

as I stated in a previous thread, open your hood (if you have a sedan) and look at the back left corner of the underside. you should see a sticker that says "Kanto auto works" on it.

Yaris Hilton · 08-15-2009, 04:53 PM

Yes, that's correct. Here are the cars they build in their two factories:

Yeap, we also have the round toehook cover. Actually, both Japanese- and French-made Euro-market Yarii have that IMHO.

IllusionX · 08-17-2009, 09:55 AM

My sister's camry has it.

xtremesniper · 08-17-2009, 03:23 PM

Mine was made in Japan. So much so, in fact, that I found various Japanese checklists and papers in my glovebox when I first picked up my car from the dealer. I guess they forgot to toss those out. ;)

Yeah, my bad. I just went to look at the newer models online

http://www.toyota.com/yaris/photo-gallery.html

and they do look the same. I haven't seen them around though, just online. Most people are still driving the same as mine, 3 dr LB, around here, it looks like.

I thought those were called Echos here in the us and they weren't sold as hatchbacks just sedans...

I don't know. I have the 2007 which is a slightly different look. I've never seen in person a Yaris with the split back window :iono.
