I don't think that either. Toyota has de-prioritized the yaris in a big way. they want to push the corolla and camry to the nth degree. there are only just over 2000 yarii available for sale in the entire country. there are over 13,000 fiestas for sale. if they brought more cars into the market they would certainly sell more.

personally I don't care about the sales numbers. the current yaris is exactly what I wanted...a simple, efficient, reliable small hatch with the gauges where I wanted them on my '07 yaris along with a less noisy cabin, better road manners, and a less bubbly "cute" shape. I will drive it for 200,000 miles and then see what the car market looks like. maybe by then we will be driving these:
