Bro! How you been?! Sorry to threadjack, but I have not seen your screen name in ages! lol

^^^^^ I imagine either very few that are 'stuck' re price (no incentives, as you mentioned.....and possibly with a PAC sticker)....or zero.

We have one, and it's been there for a long time. We don't do addendums on our cars like other dealerships. We may have a couple that have aftermarket leather in them, but we need to have something in stock to show what that would look like.

I don't have to tell you, but there isn't much profit in a Yaris for the dealership. Not much incentive to move it, eh?

Neat looking little cars. But what horrid reliability. Bottom in Consumer Reports for the past several years. And the Fiat 500 boards are full of people with lots of issues. If it was reliable, it would be a definite go. But as it is, not for me.

Not so sure about that. I've test driven several Abarths and 1 500. Ive spoke with my neighborhood service managers. Ive sought out owners of 2013 and later cars who dd like me (2k per month). Im not so sure.

Have you driven one? The media is not exactly enthralled with our cars. I'm constantly defending the Mighty Yaris to folks i know. I'm willing to put up with some increased maintenance in exchange for sex appeal. Yes...i could stripe mine and paint the mirrors. But the dash-i can't come up with an adequate solution. An Abarth ( Or even a lowly Pop) puts the sizzle where you can see it.

Drive the competition. Talk to owners who drive similarly. I'm not so sure i trust the media entirely.

I'm not endorsing a Fiat...but i am looking at one as a possibility in addition to others
