#1 of 2694 2006 Toyota Echo by lexi4life Sep 13, 2004 (5:45 pm)
It will keep most of its current mechanical components but will be nicer and better equipped. An XRS version is a possibility for the 3 door hatchback and the 5 door hatchback is gonna become a wagon like a small Matrix. (Hatchback Echos are only sold in Canada and are special versions of European and Japanese Yaris/Vitz). In the showrooms in summer 2005. Replies to this message: lukeventura (Oct 17, 2005 2:39 pm)

What did you expect? Theres basically no information available, and the topic of discussion is the Toyota ECHO, which everyone believed was going to be killed in favor of the Scion brand.   ~alpha

lexi-   Are we going to get the hatch in the US for '06? That might actually sell, though it would step on the toes of the Scion xA. Right now Toyota is only shipping about 300 Echos a month to the US. They are out there though -- I was at a Toyota dealer recently (SE PA) and they had a new '05 4-door on the lot.   -Andrew L

Well I don't think they're gonna bring it to the US. Unlike you, here, in Quebec, Echo Sedans and Hatchbacks are one of the most popular vehicules. The sedan is ugly, but people buy it anyway; for them, it's just a car... The hatchback is SO nice!! That's the most popular in the 2. Well YOU have Scions (you're lucky) but not us so I think they're gonna continue to bring these rebadged european Yaris to us because it sells very well and because it won't make any competition to Scions. For you, the Echo will probably be killed because of Scion and because it already doesn't sell.

lexi-   I would have thought that, if Toyota were going to drop the Echo from the US, they would have done it already. It doesn't make sense to have the car stagger on through the '04 and '05 model years shipping 300 units a month, if they are just going to drop it anyway. My assumption was that the reason they kept the slow-selling current model was to avoid a discontinuity when the new one comes out for '06. I could be wrong, though.   -Andrew L

Good point but we'll have to see what's really gonna happen next summer to be sure. What I think is that if the echo continues for you, (in the U.S), it's gonna be less «yougthful» so that the xA can play this role alone. It's perhaps gonna become an «old people's car».

Already there!

Well, I would say yes for the sedan, but no for the hatchback only Canada has. The hatchback is REALLY yougthful: There are about 50 different performance accessories available for any hatchback owner to tune up his/her car. The colors available aren't the same than the ones offered on the sedan: yellow, bright red, bright blue, black, etc. There is an «RS» version that offers sport seats and gauges, bigger wheels and sport tires.

I have a 01 Yaris/ Eco that I am planning to replace !! The 05 is not much of an improvement !! The roads are so bad here in Guatemala that you need a car with a good suspension , which the Yaris is not !!Now you give me news that the 06 will have the same suspension -- bad move !! I have a 05 Mazda3 HB that is very quiet and exceptional suspension !! I think I'll go ahead and get a Mazda3 Sedan as An around town car for my wife !!
