February 2016 Yaris Sales: Down

[Kalispel]

My nephew had his 1999 Lexus in the shop last week for some repainting, after being hit by some road debris, and the rental car that was given him was a Gray 2015 Yaris L.

I wonder what % of the minuscule new Yaris sales are actually fleet/rental vehicles, versus regular consumer purchases?

^^^ Well... Hertz car sales currently has 281 '15 Toyota Yaris L models for sale in Southern California alone.

While it looks like they've brought back the sedan
I'm just not drawn to what they have now.

I hate the whale mouth front grill they have now. Looks totally fugly IMO. The Volvo style big box dash also looks out of place in a small car. Just what were they thinking!

I used to car pool with a colleague who had a new Versa sedan. It had brake issues and he got rid of it after two years. Bits of the plasticy interior were also coming apart by then. I would never buy a Versa - ever.

IIRC the Versa sedan also got voted into Canada's top 10 ugliest cars last year.
