    Okay, it seems that Toyota Motor Philippines launched the facelifted 2013 Land Cruiser 200 which is right, but apparently, Toyota launched the wrong Toyota Yaris for the 2012 model year...

    The rest of the world already has the newly redesigned 2012 Toyota Yaris except Philippines , Thailand & some other 3rd world countries.

    The engine is the same on both , the 1NZ FE already established itself as one of the most reliable engine in sub compact category.

    If i will take a guess , Toyota Philippines wants to sell its old inventory in Thailand before it brings the new design.

    There was no mistake, its just a Facelifted Yaris , thats all.

    Dati noong ala pa balita na bagong modelo sa ibang bansa, mahina na yung bentahan nyan. Ngayon lalong wala bibili ng Yaris na yan.

    That made me so angry, I wanna drop the F-bomb in one part of Thailand where they made this Yaris.

    Minor change? What's gotten into those Thai? Haven't seen the new one? What a disgrace!

    Based on US reviews the new body Yaris still gets the same engines and same 4-speed AT as the old one so we're not missing out on a lot.
