Things happen for a reason tho. After 10 worry free and enjoyable years with my Tercel I sold it to a gent for 2k and bought my Yaris sedan.

Nice! I was luke warm on certain years of the Tercel, but all in all it was a great car.

I don't know how the Echo's design was signed off on for sale in N America. No other Toyota had shared any similarity either.

It wasn't winning any beauty pageants, that's for sure.

That's dope. My aunt had a '90 2 door. I wasn't a big fan of that look. The same year hatchback was not bad tho.
