Everything you said about the echo is spot on, (the yaris is the same car, and comes with a tach in the UK), everyone else in the world has hailed it as a great fun to drive, practile and very efficant little car. But the simple attidude of the general american public prevents the car form being accepted for the great car it is, and untill that attidude changes the US will never get some of the world greatest cars in any kind of Volume, and continue to be stuck driving vechiles that havnt evolved much beyond the automotive equivilant of the stone age. (e.g SUVs that will never see a day out side of a major urban area.)
