Toyota Yaris hatchback deathwatch is on. UPDATE: dead. UPDATE: it's baaaaack!!

[MetroMPG]

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

That means the Yaris deathwatch is on:

UPDATE: Toyota confirms the cars discontinuation in the U.S. See post #33.

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 cars have been chopped from the U.S./Canada market in the past few years as buyers flock to CUV's/crossovers. The carnage ain't over yet.
