Cool

Anyone else find that this too tall and too narrow toaster-style car is absolutely hideous?

I agree that those are stupid looking, but the Vitz (Echo hatchback) is cool looking. They make body kits and turbo kits and all other sorts of goodies for them.

jaja The Toyota Echo is the ugliest car you can get in the market. The front is too short, worse than a minivan, and is too tall, I hate it. About the hatchback, when I first saw it on pictures (on sale were I´am and top of the ranking) were is called the Yaris they looked pretty nice to me, but just wait until you have one in front of you, it´s incredible small, really small, ok maybe a little bigger than the Smart vehicle. You might be foolished because of the size of the doors but take a look of the trunk!

ah and by the way I like you Ford Escort hatchback Heep, they´re pretty cool, nice and reliable, I used to have the 1994 Wagon until 2000 I had an Ofert made by Ford to trade it for some $$$$ more. You maybe should try too

You may not like the shape, but the air does! The Echo has an incredibly low coefficient of drag: 0.29.

For comparison's sake, the Mclaren F1, Porsche 959 & Boxter, Lambo Diablo, and the Ferrari 360, all read around 0.32-0.35.

AFAIK, only the Honda Insight (0.25 ) and a couple of the newest Mercedes (~0.28) just beat the Echo in Cd.

Hahaha, ever time I see your avatar or your name I think of that macarroni and beef post. Bahahaha

I think the Vitz looks pretty cool when it's on GT3...
