Even with the current generation, Europe/Japan gets about 5 engine choices for the Yaris! We get a grand total of one. So chances are, we'll get only one option for 2012, and that will be the mid-range offering - likely a standard 1.5 liter. Toyota needs to throw a 6-speed in to compete but I have a feeling they won't.
They get a CVT option, 4WD option (yes, on a Yaris hatch!), diesel option, a quick 1.8 liter option, and more.
Then again, the Yaris is the #3 seller in Japan and a top seller in Europe so all these options make sense there.
This makes the new Civic hybrid the 2nd most fuel efficient vehicle available.
