You won't be able to register the Echo RS in the US without going through some serious red tape, as it wasn't a US market vehicle and is less that 25 years old.

I looked a bringing a 2006 Yaris into the US and even it was going to be a nightmare of paperwork (and it really is identical to what we got in the US in 2007).

I was looking into importing and it just has to pass US standards... Which they sold the exact same car in the us in a sedan version shouldn't be a hard thing to accomplish...

Scott is right—it's actually quite a bit of work; I've also looked into it with other vehicles. I hate to be a naysayer, but I doubt you'll be able to get through the red tape to actually get it to the States.

But, good luck if you try it!
