Should the States wait? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I dunno, I have every bit of confidence that the car is going to keep cool but when I'm sitting in downtown Cleveland gridlock on the shoreway with the ac blasting, isn't a little comforting to look at the temp gauge and see it not move at all. If think the Dodge K car even had a temp gauge! The peoples car! ..........Without extra gauges and such it makes me feel like I'm not smart enough to understand what going on under the hood. I guess it is an guy thing. I like gauges and crap. I'm not trying to bitch, I just don't have one yet and I want to talk to you guys about them so I don't miss it so much. Wife says I have to finish the kitchen first and the boss says I have to complete my cert. before a raise. Everyone in my life is bringing me down! gotta have goals i guess

I have to quote Chinocharles' response to your ridiculous statement.
"First of all, saying the Yaris is bad on gas is proposterous. What are you smoking and where can I get some?"

Is there anything out there with better gas mileage? Oh, a 28k prius, or some other overpriced hybrid. There is the corolla by a gallon which also costs a little more. They haven't made the xfi metro in some years and the smart four two isn't hitting the states til next spring/summer. The the yaris is the answer. And besides, th fourtwo might be a little two, uh, to be nice, small? The whole car is eight feet eight. Your bed is amost the same size.
