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.

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)
#15 of 2694 I don't know why but... by jojomonkeyboy Nov 14, 2004 (9:49 pm)
I shouldn't care about Toyota discontinuing the ECHO.   I purchased mine in 2003 with the thought that I'd keep it for 6 or 7 years. I'm not looking to buy a 2006 anyway, or trade my ECHO anytime soon.   I guess it could have an impact on servicing the vehicle, to have it discontinued, but its under warranty - so it shouldn't matter.   I guess it affects resell value - but I'll probably just donate my ECHO when the time is near..   I think its mostly an emotonal thing - no one likes to hear that the car they choose is being discontinued. It's like an admission of failure on the part of the car dealer, if the car wasn't succesfull then maybe there is a good reason for that.. and maybe you didn't make a good decision buying an ECHO.   I think my ECHO is great. It has the BEST gas mileage, and gas prices around me have been over $2.00/gal for a long time now. I use it to zip back and forth to work and that's it. Great commuter car ( I think).   Of course if you listen to the so-called experts right here on Edmunds, about what is important in a commuter car they list fuel efficiency # 7 and a good in-dash CD changer # 4.   http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/list/top10/102588/article.html   Ok whatever, but with gas prices sometimes spiking at $2.10/gal - I personally value good gas mileage more than a neat in-dash CD changer.

I'd love to see the Echo hatch come to the US. Especially with TRD support, that would be a lot of fun to drive, and get great gas mileage.

Replying to: 307web (Nov 11, 2004 8:57 pm) That's your opinion. I just find Scions, especially the xB, to be extremely ugly.   Even the Honda Element looks better than the xB. The tC isn't bad, though...
#18 of 2694 2006 Echo in USA by a_l_hubcaps Nov 29, 2004 (8:01 pm)
There's an article about the Echo in Automotive News this week (I [ab]use my college's Lexis-Nexis subscription to read Automotive News each week ). It has quotes from Toyota execs indicating that the current Echo will be produced in small numbers through the 2005 model year, and a new Echo will be introduced in the US for 2006 (fall '05). The replacement will be offered as a sedan or a 3-door hatch, possibly with a new name.   So it seems clear that the USA Echo is not dying. What are some possible candidates for names? Yaris and Vitz are the obvious ones, because they are used on similar cars in other markets, but I don't particularly like either of them. My vote would be to call it the Toyota Starlet (that was a subcompact from the early '80s, if anyone remembers). I always liked that name; it sounds cute and happy like a small car's name should. Of course, they could go with Tercel, too.   -Andrew L Replies to this message: jojomonkeyboy (Nov 30, 2004 9:22 pm) pappycartwrigh (Mar 09, 2005 1:54 pm)
