Hi Apial,

Toyota pride themselves by having E4 compliant engines in both the Avensis and the Corolla, each using the two litre jobby.

Logic would suggest that compliance will filter down to the Yaris in time for the regs.

On the other hand, would they be prepared to spend part of their R&D budget on upping the 1.4D, when the company car market in that sector is so small? Who knows?

The 1.4D is only about a year old at the moment, and I would have thought a production span of at least a couple of years before any new developments begin to appear.

One thing is for sure - I'll be keeping a close eye on things.
