Hmmm... I would have thought that they would have told me that they were simple transition vehicles, deemed not worthy of the North American market when they were co-developed with the Echo (JDM Vitz), while development progressed on vehicles specifically designed to target the US market.

It's really interesting that in Canada, while we didn't get Scion (until upcoming fall) we got a 5 door version of the Yaris HB long before the US did. Were they afraid of cannibalizing US sales of 5 door Scions?
