echo all over again?

[hasher22]

I think that more and more people want their own custom built cars now. Wait 3 Months+ for it. I think the yaris's you see in the dealers are just there to sell if anyone wants them.

Though not everyone can afford a new car these days, even if its a 14000USD car.

If i remember right, the yaris's are selling really fast! I mean, in australia i see about 6+ on the road each day.

No offence to the echo, but i thaught the echo was the ugliest thing on earth. Havin a complete make over Name and appearance was a good move. I mean i hate the name echo and i hated the look. I like the name Yaris and Love the of the yaris.

I have to agree with Hasher. My Mom has an Echo and it is fugly. It is a reliable car and she could care less what it looks like but the Yaris is a very different car in so many ways. I think smart people buy the Yaris and there aren't a ton of smart people but hopefully enough to keep it in production for a good long while.

yeah, all those yarii are configured the same, with convenience package only, some stick, mostly auto. id think high mileage (real world) cars will be hot with gas prices rising. ( overall, i think the versa is a decent package for $13,500. however, all the forums regarding the versa have the same theme running through them--s***t gas mileage. i mean, people seem to be happy just to get 30-32 mpg on a highway trip. we're talkin gas sucking dodge caliber territory.) last year people had to wait maybe weeks or months just to get any hatch in their preferred color. if i will do without side airbags, i can get a 5 speed hatch in any color i want within days. so, maybe people are just being more picky about how the yaris is optioned

additionally, any of those dealers were happy to sell me any hatch on their lot for $200 over invoice. they are not so willing to do that for a 5 speed hatch w/ side airbags that they located 400 miles away.

I think over the past year, the factory might be able to catch up a little so there are going to be some liftbacks sitting on the lot. Gas prices are going back up so I'm sure that will spark some continual interest in the Yaris. I think it will do fine. Gas prices, I hate to say it are only going to go up from now on.
