Like many things car related, they are only regurgitating news. Most news sources really only regurgitate the auto news over...and over...and over....

CNN

Who advertises on CNN? Besides Ford, GM and Honda?

Even Toyota would rather you sat behind the wheel of a Camry or Prius than a Yaris.

I have only ever seen one Yaris ad in RI, and that was when gas was $4 per gallon. Camry, Corolla, Taco, etc. - all the time.

yeah i used to see those yaris vs. yaris commercials all the time but that was only when it first came out. since then i haven't seen a one. now it's venza everywhere i look.

anyway i don't care what its rated cause I love it.

Yeah, I remember seeing the dueling Yaris commercials a few years ago. The new commercial with all three models and the monster is kinda cool too though.

^Those commercials where the reason why I got one... I told the dealer I want the blue one just like in the commercial =]

Oh well, I don't care what others think about my cute little car. It's fun to drive and I don't have to spend so much on gas

CNN

I think the Yaris gets bad reviews because the people writing them cannot relate to people who actually are trying to spend the least about of cash on their auto and don't need all the fancy stuff which comes standard on so many other cars. They test the Yaris and are like wtf? This car is economical, what a POS and then they write to buy a FIT because it's made better. A Fit better be made better, as a equally equipped FIT cost 16% more than our Yaris did when we purchased.

It's like the movie reviewer who gives a thumbs up for a movie with one cool catch phrase or action scene, they're not paying for it so they can't identify with people who are.
