I'm digging those lights!!! I wouldn't hold my breath for the U.S. The Prius is Toyota's darling. I don't know if they want a cheaper hybrid getting more mpg. Granted it will be smaller but still. Toyota is competing against itself. Also I read another article the FIT hybrid is outselling the Prius in Japan. Main reason Toyota is doing this.

Also to note is Toyota's overall domination in Japan. They're pretty much outselling everyone else combined. 2010 total sales in Japan... 1. Toyota Prius 315,669 +51.1 2. Honda Fit 185,439 +17.7 3. Toyota Vitz 122,248 +3.9 4. Toyota Corolla 111,265 +23.4 5. Honda Freed 95,123 +19.6 6. Toyota Passo 89,373 -9.6 7. Honda Stepwagon 80,934 +88.1 8. Nissan Serena 75,040 -4.8 9. Toyota Voxy 72,163 +1.0 10. Nissan Note 66,347 +0.9 11. Mazda Demio 65,949 +18.6 12. Toyota Vellfire 61,015 +22.9 13. Toyota Wish 59,447 -1.5 14. Toyota Noah 56,955 +7.6 15. Nissan Cube 54,406 -9.0 16. Toyota Estima 50,053 -4.5 17. Nissan March 49,193 +56.5 18. Nissan Tiida 46,825 -18.7 19. Toyota Ractis 46,540 +3.0 20. Suzuki Swift 44,589 -3.4 Toyota does indeed intend to make a hybrid varient of almost their entire lineup. This includes Yaris as well as at least 3 Prius models (Prius V & C are coming). It may eat some regular Prius sales but I don't think by much. He car will look very different, be priced differently, and range in size. Their distinctions will sell themselves. |

I read the same thing about the Fit outselling the Prius, but that is only for January 2011. Japan had some sort of financial incentive that made the Prius - and hybrids in general - more attractive to purchase and that is why it had been top seller for almost two years. With the Fit now offering a hybrid, it has since topped the Prius in sales.

I wish Honda brought over the Fit hybrid to North America. Problem for Honda is that they build the Insight which is about the same price. The Insight is a total fail. They should've simply marketed the Civic hybrid & Fit hybrid. |

i like the looks. why dont they just make that the '12 yaris? its mostly the same except the grille and headlights.
however, as ive stated before, it would have to cost little more than the current yaris to offer much overall savings. you wont be much worse off driving a 45 mpg gas engine yaris than you will driving a 60 mpg hybrid yaris. that 60 mpg hybrid, at 15,000 miles per year, would save you only $1354.10 in 5 years of driving (at todays gas prices) over that 45 mpg yaris. does anyone think a hybrid version wiull only cost $1300 more than its gas counterpart? personally, id rather see a diesel version. |

I don't know about you but my 2009 Yaris 3dr doesn't get 45 mpg- I'm lucky to get high 30's. Also does it look like gas prices will stop rising soon? A car is a 10 year purchase so based on a 10 year payout with ever increasing gas prices the hybrid Yaris does make economic sense IMO.
My friend swears he does 50mpg or close to it even in the winter with his 2011 Prius so a smaller, lighter Yaris full hybrid should do mid 50's pretty easily. |
