Rumor has it that the Toyota Yaris may be replaced in the U.S. with an all-new model. According to Autocar, Toyota is looking to offer a more competitive offering in the wake of more stylish subcompacts like the Ford Fiesta, Mazda2 and Honda Fit.
The Toyota Yaris remains a formidable subcompact with an affordable price tag and high mileage. However, it hasn’t received a major updated since its debut back in 2006.
The rumored, all-new model is expected to be somewhat larger than the current Yaris. It’s also expected to break cover at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Although a hybrid Yaris model is currently destined for the European market, there has been no word on whether such a model will make it Stateside.
