Yeah, it's one of the only Toyota lines to change it's name as much as 3 times.
Generally, they go on for many generations (Camry, Corolla, Tacoma, ect.)

But it seems clear that the Yaris name is here to stay!

I find it interesting that the ignorant auto press seems to have forgotten about the Tercel and even the Echo. They always say that Toyota developed the Yaris because the Corolla has gotten so much bigger and more upscale. It didn't replace the old Corolla people! Toyota has long had a subcompact under the Corolla. Interestingly enough though, the Yaris sedan is actually bigger than old Corollas.

But anyway, get the Yaris!

I am quite pleased with the sedan we have. It is economical, well built, hauls the kids and is fun to drive. Couldn't ask for more.

The Echo was only called an "Echo" in the North American market, wasnt it? Everyone else wasnt it always called the Yaris still?

It only got re-named the "Yaris" in NA when the next generation came out. Non?

(The Echo was a gay as hell name, IMO.)



Also, are you sure the Echo/Yaris really really is the same car as the Tercel?

The Echo and the Yaris are the same car. But the Tercel too? Not too sure abt that (I dont know though).

I would think that the Tercel was just canceled as Toyota's subcompact and the Yaris/Echo was brought in to replace. ?

All the Cdn base models have tachs. I've never seen a Yaris on the road or in the showroom w/ a tach, even on base models.

That mess only happens in the US. :S


And REALLLY the RS get rear seat heater ducts!? Amazing. Didnt know that at all!
