Would the 5 Door LB Sell well in the USA?

I was wondering - would the 5 door Yaris LB be a strong seller in the United States? It seems to me that it sells well in Canada. If toyota were to sell the 5 door down here, would you buy one? I must admit, I realy dig the 5 door's style.

probably, but then it would clash with the Scion xA in the small 5 door hatch market... Can't let that happen!

i bought the 5 dr instead of the 3 for the sake of kids... the great thing is the styling is pretty much the same between the two just more convenient (in my case)

I'm glad that I bought the 5dr liftback, but having the side pillar in my peripheral is a real pain in the ass. I suppose for many, who's scope doesn't compared to a fish-eye, then it wouldn't matter, but for me, It sucks.

I would have bought the 5 door. Every time I have the kids with me I wish Toyota had sold it here.

It would have made no difference with me. I prefer the cleaner, sportier styling of the 3-door.

I always forget about our neighbors to the north. AND THEY ALWAYS FORGET ABOUT ME! jk riceboy, you always invite me to your gb parties! GO LED TAILS!

That is my dream car, all the looks of the hatch, and the kids have easy access to the rear seats! I would trade mine in in a second!

Being that I go through cars about every 2 years, I would definitely trade in the 3dr for the 5dr.

I would have bought one. I went for the Scion xA because it was a 5
door LB. I almost got the 3 door Yaris but darn it if those 2 extra doors
don’t come in handy - at least for me anyway. I do love my xA, but I
am missing not getting the gas mileage that you all do.

funny thing is, if the 3 door variant was available here I would have gone for it in a heartbeat

I personally prefer 2 door hatchbacks, but it would come in handy for those with families.
