Hmm, maybe that whale mouth front end scares people away. :)

I bought a 2007 Yaris when they first came out in Oregon and loved it but decided to sell it when I moved to Hawaii. On a recent trip to Japan, I saw a totally race-ready Vitz at the Toyota City Showcase that resembled my old Yaris and it made me want to get another one.

I'm surprised that the popularity has went down so much. I waited six weeks on pre-order to get one 10 years ago. I guess a lot has changed in ten years.
