#5572 of 5646 Re: replacement [kneisl1] by nippononly Jun 08, 2009 (4:05 pm)
Replying to: kneisl1 (Jun 07, 2009 10:49 am) No, you have that backwards I believe. They are thinking of putting the 1.3 from the iQ in the Yaris as a base model to compete sticker to sticker with the $9995 Versa.   But the iQ is expected to have the 1.3, the biggest gas engine offered in that model elsewhere in the world. And I would expect mileage well into the 40s, so if a 3-seater is your thing (I think of the Echo as a 2+2), it could be just the ticket. Certainly it looks like a good candidate for a commute car.

Where did you read about the 1.3 in the Yaris? I will be upset if I bought a 1.5 and I could have had a 1.3! Oh well I got free cruise control! The articles Ive read on the internet say 1.5 liter for the iQ. No way (they say) anything smaller will be offered. But of course if it happens I would welcome it.

So would your future Echo have solar roof panels?

No they dont work. My dream car would have a 500cc diesel engine and weigh about 800 pounds. If everybody had one of those we could have fuel for 50 cents a gallon! With the right emission controls we could stop global warming!
#5576 of 5646 On the subject of TPMS by dake Jun 09, 2009 (6:43 am)
Do a google search on TPMS, I found a site awhile back where I guy took the TPMS sensors and sealed them inside two PVC endcaps. He put a valve in one end and pressurized it and threw the ball in his trunk. That way the computer can read the sensors and is happy, but he doesn't have to worry about the hiccups.

Finally... anyone hit 300k yet?   See you at the next 50k!   RJ Replies to this message: nippononly (Jun 10, 2009 9:12 pm) rjgee (Jun 11, 2009 2:03 pm) nippononly (Jun 11, 2009 11:38 pm)
#5578 of 5646 Will it look like an Echo? by babyboomer Jun 10, 2009 (5:10 am)
Toyota’s 1/x hybrid concept, whose bioplastic exterior contains seaweed, has the same interior space as a Prius, but weighs only 926 pounds — about one-third the weight of a Prius — and aims to double its fuel efficiency.

Well if it doesnt work you could always eat it! Tasty! Hmm 900 pounds for a HYBRID sounds very optimistic. But at least they got the small motor/light weight thing right.
