Found out about the Scion iA as its teaser released online! (pictured below)
An exciting compact, that at the very least looks and feels the part than driving like it, has always been on my radar. Combine that with being loyal to Toyota, along with a clear understanding of what the iA will be like, and all of a sudden it starts to make a lot of sense.

In just under a week we'll get to see the 2016 Scion iA Revealed!

Welcome to the forums.

To me, the iA looks so much more interesting than a Yaris. Why are you even considering a Yaris?

Thanks!

Looks isn't all that important to me, but if I can get a sub-compact that looks great... why not?

Yaris fits the bill: affordable, great features, and more.

So what will be the deciding factor between the two?

Price? Availability?

That's reasonable.


It makes me wonder what the current deals are on the Yaris...

That might vary from dealer to dealer, haven't noticed any dealer-wide promotion going on.

As always, you can wait for end of the year deals when they'll get aggressive with moving out old year models.

I just spoke with my local dealer, and they said there are not any official "lease deals" on the Yaris right now, and that it doesn't lease well. Tried to sell me on a boring Corolla instead...no thanks, I'll stick with the iA.

Here's an informative overview of the Yaris:

Did you know the Yaris is one of the few (only?) car sold in North America that is manufactured in France?

That's news to me, with the amount of Yaris' i've been seeing on the roads where i'm located I would have thought they were produced in North America with all that volume, unless i'm getting lucky with seeing so many.

Toyota sells the least Yaris out of almost all their vehicle.
