I’ve had a Yaris since they first arrived on American shores. I enjoy the car, but i also realize that it’s not AS EFFICIENT as it could be. Toyota sold the USA what most Americans would accept (at a cheap price). I can’t even imagine how much better my highway gas mileage would be with a 6 speed transmission, or atleast a longer 5th gear. I won’t even bother to mention how Toyota deemed it unnecessary to release a Yaris CE 5 speed manual WITHOUT THE OPTION OF POWER WINDOWS, POWER LOCKS, or Remote Entry. This is the only reason I won’t be buying another (unless Toyota changes some important things). The 1NZFE motor in the yaris and the 1NZFE Hybrid in the Prius should (as far as I’ve researched) be swappable. I have considered doing the swap myself and installing the new technology in battery cells and capacitors (lol…like Doc and Marty)…but it saddens me that Toyota doesn’t get on the ball and build me the car I want to buy. It’s not even like we’re asking for new technology..just put a darn 1nZFE hybrid into a Yaris…if not, that Fit hybrid should be out soon..

let’s face it, the price of oil is only getting higher every year, and according to some sources we already reach our peak with oil and it is time to be more efficient with our energy use”.
A lovely small car like the Yaris going hybrid I will buy two not one! It will be little more expensive than the convential type, but hey won’t you pay a little to make sure that your kids and grand-kids have some planet left to enjoy??!!

I am considering a small car to commute within the city. I am using my Nissan 4×4 2.7 TDI to go to the office. 50 miles a day. I refuel once a week and spend a lot of money on petrol. I am looking forward to buy a second car (smaller) like a GM Opel corsa hybrid (around 4 litres/100 km) o a Yaris Hybrid (if it existed). Is the world changing?? Are we considering green-cars more than ever?

Jim Farley, ToyotaÂ’s vice president of marketing states, Â“Every hybrid owner who passes a gas station knows they are using less fuel, but to look at that figure in total is truly impressive. The purpose of the billboard is to visually capture one of …
