Toyota sharpening the axe: Yaris deathwatch

[MetroMPG]

Yaris/Echo fans in this forum (I was one of them) may be interested to know...

Toyota has let it be known that it's planning to trim unpopular vehicles from its North American line-up.

That means the Yaris deathwatch is on:

The Corolla, Camry and Avalon are all safe, as they’ve seen steady increases in sales year after year.

The Yaris Hatch, however, will probably be dropped, as sales of the subcompact have dropped almost 80 percent since the start of 2018.

A LOT of small cars have been cancelled in the past few years as buyer preference switches to crossovers/CUV's/SUV's.
