The reasoning given was that VW would use the Polo, which is the Yaris' market rival. (OK, that is yet to be confirmed by VW).
Last week, I was told by a reliable source that a well-known Japanese rally driver was doing secret suspension testing here for Toyota in a Yaris WRC test mule. I will be checking the next issue of Best Car to see if they know about this!"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." Steve McQueen

Here is a bit more fuel for the rumour. It would be useful to have an off-the-shelf-engine to
further develop for use in your new WRCar!

It would be nice..
I dont think that Hyundai can risk Mikkelsen instead of Lappi in Poland. They should bring 4 cars
