Its just an ECHO
It pisses me off when people say that about my yaris. It has a same engine and center gauge cluster, then its an Echo
Sometime I want to punch some people. IMHO, I cannot stand the look of the ECHO. I think its tied to one of the most ugliest cars right next to the Aztec.

Gee, my buddy has an Echo, and it is pulling the same FE as my Yaris, and truthfully, I don't see enough of a difference to generate your kind of heat!
That Renault is FWD, handles like a hog on ice, and rusts if you put salt on your fries. Other than that, it is a fairly durable (but not fast), utilitarian vehicle designed and manufactured for a completely different market, and completely different driving style, somewhere between retarded and maniacal! |

They are comparing it to another entry level, budget Toyota product...
I could see the problem if they were calling it a GEO Metro.

echo's, even sedan/coupes, are awesome
sure, the interior is boring, grey, and ugly but its 2050lbs and can have the same power and suspension mods as the scion xa/xb1 win win in my books

Hey I had a Black ECHO and it was faster than my YARIS! It was a manual 1.3 litre and was lighter. Nothing wrong with the ECHO, but I would get peeved if my car was called something older.

Haven't had anyone call my car an echo. Just "what kind of car is that" "cool yaris" "badass".
Guess as long as they don't call it a tercel, aveo or fit your ok. |

I did drive it! :) The 4L , as it was called, was basically my first real driving experience. We took one out to Brittany (France) years ago, and I learned how to drive on that, on the country roads during a vacation break. Now I'm gonna have to find that pic and post it , hehehehe ... I think its around here somewhere.
