From the Saint Louis Post Dispatch 12/28/05 ATLANTA — During a question-and-answer session at a media event here introducing the all-new subcompact Toyota Yaris, a question came up regarding the meaning of the name. “It’s a minor Greek god,” answered Ernest Bastien, vice president of vehicle operations. “. . . The god of health, I think.” To which Dick Kelley, a Toyota PR guy, quickly added: “It’s the entry-level god.” Yaris is entry-level, for sure. But, in the wake of the disappointing sales of the outgoing Toyota Echo subcompact — a rare state-side failure for Toyota — the company isn’t relying on divine intervention for Yaris’s success. This new subcompact has been designed to avoid Echo’s mistakes, Bastien said. .... |

From www.
From here: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=384785 "The Yaris name sounds weird until it's explained. It's Toyota's variation of Charis, which is a Greek word for grace, and was the name, in Greek mythology, of a goddess of fertility, art and beauty. Charis became charisma." |

I prefer "Tiny Bubbles" for the hatchbacks and "Minnows" for the sedans.

Alliance of Yarii? League of Yarii?

This gives me an idea for a new book of philosophy called "The Plurality of Yarii." People would buy it for the title alone!

^ I like! The Yarii culture...
Hmmm... you can also write a new philosophical book on values and change the title around to: "Zen and the Art of 'Yarii' Maintenance"... That's a title that would grab some attention.
