everyone knows about the toyota ist but this is the 2nd gen replacement for the yaris and vitz that's sold in europe and japan.

 

When is that do out?

 

Its a 2005 production. Underpinnings really didnt change from what I can tell. I don't think N/A will get this one for a while. Canada doesnt seem to be getting this bad boy.

 

thats a cool little car...

 

hey. . . maybe this was the car that was all camoflaged from that post a few weeks back? This car definitely incorporates a LOT of ist/xA styling, most notably the rear window, side profile, and hood shapes.

 

too bad it still has the 1nz motor tho.

 

Yeah. . . I guess I'm one of the few peeps happy with this motor the way it is. I like the price I paid. . . it was that or keep repairing my Lex, or buy a Kia. Bleck!

 

kinda like a mini golf... especially with that front grille area

 

I want sell my xa and get this.....DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNN!!!

 

sexy, i like it a lot..... is it me or does it have more curves?

 

Definitely more curves... but curves are sexy :D

 

Golf Damn It!

"Press calls the Echo "a hole in our portfolio." He said the next Echo will do
a better job than the current Echo of keeping Toyota's share of mind among budget-conscious consumers.
A product planning source said the next generation, due in fall 2005, will come as a three-door hatchback and a sedan and may not retain its name."

Now I don't know if I should get an xA or wait for the new Vitz.

 

I like my xA better than the new one.


Wait, mine is a new one...

 

interior not bad better than the current one.

 

This car won't be the a new xA, it will be a new Echo.

 

They stopped making the Echo when the xA was released here in the States. It doesn't make sense to me that they'd bring back the Echo when the whole goal of the Scion marque is to draw the attention of the youth/style-oriented demographic. Toyota would be competing with itself having the Echo and xA out there...

 

I dunno how I feel about this new Echo. . . but yeah, major overlap! But I really like this Echo over the old one 1 million%!!!!!!!!
Is there an Echo forum? I bet the are busting out the champagne!

 

canada has a better shot of getting this car as the replacement for their echo.

 

Jesus, the didnt stop making the Echo. Read the damn article will you.

 

Will you read the article as well. This car IS THE NEW ECHO. There will be no OLD Echo , this is the next generation.
