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 !!

#12 of 2694 Diesel by 307web Nov 04, 2004 (8:32 pm)
Maybe they should make it a diesel since diesel doesnt fit the Scion image and wouldn't compete with the xA. Mileage close to a Prius for thousands less.
#13 of 2694 Is this definite? by i_luv_toyota Nov 11, 2004 (7:10 am)
Is the Echo gonna hang around for another generation?   If so, I'm very glad. It will be good to buy a subcompact Toyota and not have it be an ugly, garrish Scion! Replies to this message: 307web (Nov 11, 2004 8:57 pm) i_luv_toyota (Nov 22, 2004 11:20 am)

Replying to: i_luv_toyota (Nov 11, 2004 7:10 am) The Echo is not good-looking. Not really any better than a Scion. Maybe they will improve the styling for 2006. Replies to this message: i_luv_toyota (Nov 22, 2004 11:20 am)
