Echo name to be dropped in Canada for Yaris 06 model


Can't say where I got this info but if you want to test my integrity check out post of mine staiting echo recall on floors and potentcial rust.

Yup, I got the same info way back in March from a Toyota product launch rep...I'll be pre-ordering my 2006 Yaris next month...It will be wierd to have the RS designation on the Yaris instead of T-Sport...

Cheers

I have no idea why Toyota thinks "Yaris" is a name improvement over "Echo"...go figure! According to a saleman I spoke to earlier this week, there will be some modifcations made to the sedan, but the hatchback will remain pretty much the same.

Well the car has always been known as Yaris in most parts of the world.. Toyota named it Echo HB here because they already had the Echo name in North America and they didn't want to introduce a new name and confuse people. I bet now they wish the hadn't.

I ordered my Canadian 06 RS Hatchback, it will arrive October 17, name TBA...

Mine will be Copper Orange Mica...

I doubt the Yaris will come with that emblem in Canada. It'll most likely be replaced with a HUGE toyota emblem. Why can't they just send us the same way as they do in Japan?

OMG that's a nice orange.. someone remind me not to show this to my girl.. cuz I know what she'll want to buy now.

The orange is a photoshop by me...Not sure about the actual colour yet...

You are correct. That is the Netz dealer emblem.

Ours should look like this.....

This is from a Czech site? http://www.autorevue.cz/Bleskovky/AR.asp?ARI=5901

I love that copper orange!

Hmm, looks like I need a lesson in photoshopping haha. I have no idea how you would do that.

Did you get the option where the JDM gurl comes with the car?

So is the Echo Hatchback being redesigned for '06?

[Tideland Prius]

Yes

I was just wondering if anyone knows whether the specs of the 06 will be different?
