Yaris sales have completely tanked - Toyota Yaris Forums

I am new to the Yaris scene; however, may I say that I recently rented a 2012 LE and there were a few dissappointing aspects.

Things I liked:
The seat fit my back better
The interior finishing was more pleasing (textures and colors)
Rear seat room and flat floor
Excellant visibility
There was a spare tire

Things that dissappointed me:
The automatic's droning and laziness is a severe letdown. It was sloppy, unrefined, and required inconsistent throttle input
No rear seat light (headliner lamp)
Automatic fuel economy never surpassed an average of 31.7 with mostly highway
Lack of interior storage compartments
Ugly aftermarket look-alike stereo with digits unreadable in sun

Now, I know some of these things are subjective, but I feel these are not huge aspects to address in order to increase Yari level of competitiveness.

Is there a forum that would be more appropriate for this type of evaluation? Do you think any of these aspects may be impacting sales #s? What are your thoughts?
