toyota.com Go to build your own. Its package PV for the GST Region.

The only difference between the "S" and the "RS" is the "S" has an "S" badge glued to the car and the "RS" has an
"RS" glued to the car. If you really want an "RS" just go to toyota and buy the "RS" badge and glue it to your Yaris.

Otherwise you would have to do a preference order and will have to wait several months for it to come in.

So the badge that they place on the trunk is clipped on? Thats funny because the "Toyota" and "Yaris" is glued on. Why would they glue 2 badges and not the 3rd?

Not glue, but rather 'mounting tape' which is thin foam with adhesive on both sides.
Peel and stick!

I thought this thread was about factory alloys???

My 2009 Yaris 3dr was purchased in the northeast region and is factory-equipped with the 15" alloys, FWIW.

regardless of your constant need to be not-wrong, he meant the RS badge that goes on the front grill is a clip on

the rear badges are all stuck on using adhesive tape

Not sure what the "GST Region" is, but from what I've heard/read/seen, including on the Toyota site, the RS is/was in Canada but not the US. The US used to have "S" versions of cars available, but no more as of the '10 model year. Now we have the Sport Package available instead (with or without alloys, and which includes the Power Package features plus spoiler, lip kit, and fog lights).

My bad...I was referring to the back. Not talking about the front.

GST=Gulf States Region The "S" is still available. It's called something different on Toyota's paper work but the outcome is still the same.

It's called a Yaris with a Sport Package... not an S. And not an RS either.

Like I said. Doesn't matter what they call it. It's still the same package, just with a few slight changes from year to year. They call it Ralley Sport is some places to appeal to the ricers.

see, i thought you said that the S was the same as a base model but w/ badges

otherwise, i think the S and RS are the same....i can't think of an options that would be different other than mph/kph speedo's

The S and base Yaris are not the same. I was referring to the S, RS, and the Sports Package being the same package.
