Yes, the Yaris is pretty popular, although mostly in hatchback versions, not sedan versions. I didn't know there was a sedan version, I've only seen the hatchback and Yaris Verso, the MPV version. I don't think I've ever seen a sedan Yaris, but it's bound to exist, isn't it? Jasper |

The best answer is to reduce consumption, and that isn't that
difficult. Oh, yes it is! It's called The Tragedy of the Commons effect: No politician dares mention the need to conserve because it would be the kiss of death for his political career. All his opponent has to do is say we can instead solve the supply problem by drilling more wells and building more refineries, and he gets the votes. After all, the politicians aren't even willing to require the manufacturers to make more economical cars, because people just won't vote for a politician who wants to take away their freedom to choose what to drive, so a fortiori they are not willing to make anyone reduce their consumption.. Please note that I don't like this situation, but it's the truth. |
