Other sites are showing the exact same photo as a preview of the new Scion iA sedan.

The new iA is said to be a re-badged Mazda 2 sedan also known as the Scazda.

That's a good point: maybe the Yaris sedan is the first fruit of the Toyota/Mazda partnership. Hmmm.

What Toyota doesn’t mention is power, and that’s for good reason: our educated assumption is that the sedan will use the same 1.56L engine as the hatchback,
...just sayin'.

No teardrop tattoo on the front end?!  ::)

Why does everything have to look 'bold and aggressive' these days? It's a freakin' econobox fer chrissakes, can't we just accept it for what it is? I fully expect to see toasters shaped like AK47s anytime now... ???  ::)

..."engine as the hatchback, its 106-hp output making the Yaris one of the least-powerful cars in the subcompact class"

Hmm is that not almost the exact specs of the beloved Honda Fit ?

I've also seen this image associated with the iA, and, tbh, it seems that was the real deal and the Toyota logo got 'shopped over it for this pic. Scion's first sedan, right?

If this is going to be a Toyota in Canada rather than a Scion (go figure) then the name Scazda can no longer apply.

Perhaps Maris or Yazda would be more appropriate.

Not really . Doesn't the Fit have 130 hp now?
