I'll have to check AV but I think that you an even get a tiny diesel in a Yaris.  I have a vision of that... a tiny car with two huge exhaust stacks coming out vertically behind the doors. Cheesy

Yaris diesel is available in Japan and will be in Europe. I can't remember off hand whether it is a 1.3 or 1.4.  Grin

Just checked - it is 1.4L

Yep and at this moment Toyota UK says there is one but you can't "build your Yaris" with one....

A diesel Yaris with a turbo and a "power box" would be really neat ( say 140 bhp and 200 lbs feet)
