The 1.8L might be the facelift model,

do you know if the 1.8L is just for the YRX model? or is it for all models?

[Madrox]

it was a sedan.

Your source?!? There's no indication that TMCA are releasing the 1.8 Yaris here in 2 months time. Facelift sedans and hatches will be here next month (minor facelifts, that is) but definitely no 1.8.

I know what you're thinking now. The Yaris TS.

This was introduced at the Paris Motorshow in 2006, from what I've heard it's been scrapped.

There is no chance that it is coming out next month.

We haven't even received an API.

Well the Yaris Facelift has been released and there is NO 1.8L variant. Bwaahahaha.

Here's some info from TAMS.

Specification changes from August 2008 production.

. Adoption of turn signal in exterior mirror for sedan.

. Addition of shift position indicator in dash for sedan.

. Sedan paint 8S6 Dynamic Blue deleted, 8T7 Tidal Blue added.

Hey Saj, just be careful posting stuff from APIs or TAMS, as sometimes the info can be embargoed and you'll be up sh!t creek with TMCA if you're releasing info to the public.

To the ppl here who think a 1.8 Yaris is coming out in a couple of months, think again. It's NOT happening.

thanks for that pinzvidz. I never post API information and I made sure this info from TAMS wasn't sensitive information.

Hatch paint 8P4 Cascade Blue deleted, 5A6 Sting added.

OMG

[robie]

[chicken]

I just saw a new toyota ad for the yaris, the yaris driving off an aircraft carrier...

might be the facelift, looked alittle different

Yep, it's the facelifted Yaris.

"Our new YARIS campaign "Clever Enough" has been designed to defy other compact car advertising. While Honda and Mazda attempt to "out-lipgloss" one another, we'll engage, treat our consumers with respect, and give them a laugh, whatever gender they may be. The two 30sec TVCs will launch this Sunday night in line with our sponsorship of the ARIAS, and prove, once and for all, that Yaris is "clever enough to be almost anything"

Here's the bobsled one.

The the "Sting" yellow looks alot brighter on the website, which seems to be off, because I saw one at the Chatswood Toyota, and it looked like a Post-It note yellow.. LOL

This means that the 1.8 SR will stay the same and will not be facelifted?
