Echo hatch in US?
Sorry if this subject has been discussed/beaten to death but I did a little searching and didn't find much. Just wondering if anyone in the US has imported an Echo hatch from Canada? Wanting to get a Yaris/Echo in the near future and just wondering if it would be too much of a pita to import an echo. Again, if I missed a thread on this somewhere please point me in the right direction and don't flame me too bad!

Don't know a lot about importing cars but is there a reason you want an Echo hatch instead of just going for the far superior Yaris hatch available in large quantities right her in the US? You can a used '07 very affordable now. Importing a car will just add lots of costs beyond the value of the car resulting in an Echo costing more than a Yaris potentially.

I think the guys on the TV show Psych drive an Echo hatch.

He does, but the show is filmed in White Rock, British Columbia, Canada (as well as Vancouver and various locations around the Lower Mainland as backdrops) despite being set in Santa Barbara, California...
As such, they use a Canadian-specs Echo 5-door hatchback during most of the show... ...but in "local" Santa Barbara shots they use a similarly-colored Yaris hatchback... Cheers! M2
