The 4-wheelie Yaris seems to be a "Let's see if we can do this!" sort of exercise on a smaller scale than the entirely new GT86 was overall.
The greater proportion of new Yar-i are all going to be FWD world econoboxes and will sell very well - in places other than the US.
We won't get any. Toyota axed the model here.
I can appreciate a newer version of my old Civic S hatchback that Honda won't sell here anymore either.
Basso-Profundo eructations to both companies that won't build what I would like to buy.
The 86 has been an island in a sea of meh over three decades.
