it will be interesting to se how they price it. im not sure why someone would buy that over the xD unless its significantly cheaper. i guess its something for the xA fans enjoy

 

didnt they kill off the echo because they didnt want inter-brand competition? i think bringing in that car would potentially hurt them, unless they leave it with all powers as options.

 

thats dumb

its gonna kill xD sales now

Especially considering the yaris gets better fuel mileage than the xD

 

i noticed that also. they have alot of cars in the same price range that could potentially over lap. Yaris/xD/Corolla Matrix/xB/Corolla/tC

it probably doesnt cost them much of anything since they all share so many similar components but this is the kind f thing that got GM into trouble. More fishing poles in the pond does not equal more fish.

there is a ~$4-5k difference between the Yaris and the xD but once you start to add options to the Yairs it catches up pretty quick.

 

the yars comes standard with manual windows, locks, and transmission though, correct?

that may be how theyre keeping the brand seperation.

 

I think they should bring back the Tercel. LOL!

 

yea...but how many people do you think really get them like that? they probably just do that so they can advertise the $11k price.

 

my cousin got it standard lol.

 

no power windows lock and all that jazz are NOT standard on the 11 k yaris

 

snt that what i said?

Manual windows, locks, and transmission?

He got the 3 door hatch in bright red. its the goofiest looking car lol. he named it "yolanda the yaris"

 

so would my father. he refuses to repalce his jetta tdi because he cant buy a new car he likes with crank windows

 

heh, with crank windows, you dont have to worry about the motor or the regulator going on you.
