However, perhaps I should've mentioned that in the blog. Unfortunately, I didn't think about it at that point.Andy Lilienthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962844660116593646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-36694043393245500612008-08-10T08:23:00.000-07:002008-08-10T08:23:00.000-07:00Good point d2m, I was informed via the Yaris chat ...Good point d2m, I was informed via the Yaris chat line on www.Toyota.com that the manual tranny would be on the 2009 5-door LB.<BR/><BR/>Unlike Toyotausa's post, anyone can verify my claim by themselves getting on the Toyota website and asking the same thing on the chat line.<BR/><BR/>It may be possible that the actual Toyota rep on the company website is misinformed, and that ToyotaUSA is truly "in the know", but I wouldn't bet on it.<BR/><BR/>The best course of action is to "keep our powder dry" and wait for the update of the Toyota website and the various car-buying websitesdwpeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704318578931424630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-43607297117570922792008-08-10T04:32:00.000-07:002008-08-10T04:32:00.000-07:00Oh yeah, I noticed the member "ToyotaUSA" who gave...Oh yeah, I noticed the member "ToyotaUSA" who gave this shocking news has only *THREE* posts. Why is anyone at Yarisworld.com believing what he's saying? He's not been a member long enough to prove he's trust worthy! And there's absolutely no reason to believe he's a Toyota Representative. <BR/><BR/>Shame on this blog!

I think they'll have manuals available, but it's likely there won't be a lot of them on the lots. <BR/><BR/>I think someone got their information wrong or thought it'd be fun to stir up some trouble at Yarisworld.com. Until you see hard core data from Toyota itself, I wouldn't believe anything you're getting from Yarisworld.D2Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374465069395396071noreply@blogger.com
