    mebbe yaris local sales figures do not seem to convince toyota ... and it might eat into their corolla sedan sales.. industrial logic... not easy to fathom sometimes..
    besides, when they sell a model here, they are not just bringing in the model.. they also have to have a good supply of spare parts, many of which will just occupy space and grow cobwebs..

    yaris versus vios... who's not selling well?
    corolla sedan versus hatch.. which will probably not sell well?
    fearless forecast based on previous experience..

    Yaris hatch didnt sell much because of it size and price..size of the corolla hatch is very much comparable to the sedan version,..

    the altis didn't outsell the vios, either... so why should the corolla hatch promise good sales figures?
    toyota phils. is probably still hurting over their attempt at introducing the echo verso...
