And Toyota's target market will buy into it.

Yeah, I don't expect Toyota to bring that over. Toyota never gave us the Vitz RS/Yaris TS, and I really don't think they'd make the first current USDM boosted Toyota a Yaris (I'm not counting the Lexus line). I think the only factory turbo Vitz/Yaris was strictly JDM, even Europe didn't get it.
