That's great.Does this thing come with side impact airbags? That was one of the biggest problems I saw with the Scion xB when I (briefly) considered it - no side airbags, even as an option.
Earth to Toyota (or the aliens running the company): not all of your customers are idiots! You can only sell so many small cars to cash-strapped 18-year-olds who think they're invincible.

the echo hatchback is the VITZ in japan, or the yaris in europe...
and actually, the yaris we both nations are getting is still called the vitz over in japan, here is a TRD version of it i found on google in 2 seconds:
hope this clears it up for everyone
i stand by my regard they are great commuter cars, and fyi, echos killed just about everything in our very tiny autocross venue in trillum chapter... especially when they are running azenis!

Here's a fun video I found on the Aygo, yet another interesting car we won't get over here. I realize it's cheap/kinda weird, but it looks like another fun little car. Enjoy...

When are we getting the Smart? 2007?? Are we getting the ForTwo (the smallest one)?
