Different car to fix up

[Scarface]

so i was jus wonderin what everyone would think if i fixed up an echo 4 door....i know its different but thats one of the reasons and it is kinda out there...:dunno:
tell me what you think

[RiceCake]

I believe the car should be left as is... I was meant to be an economy car to beat around town with. The car sits so high and the wheels are so narrow! It just looks dangerous to take that thing through corners :eek:, it looks like it'll just tip over!

On a side note I think someone did post about a crazy sleeper turboed echo on here before... :nut:

[EstoMax]

hey ricecake a honda civic is also meant to be an economy car to beat around town with and many other cars as well

max

[RiceCake]

But the echo was like a tercel replacement... It just doesn't look suited for modifications...

[Scarface]

but not anything major....like lowering rims and rubber.....then jus interior.....

[rice_eater]

you'll definately be the first that's for sure...

[EG STyLeZ]

echos are ugly:

[dam_guy]

you could always wait for the echo hatchback (vitz) and make it look something like this

[kevie88]

I kinda like the echo, some look good..

[sin]

just go for something cheaper, and more moddable (IMO)... if thats a word...

[hjr]

the new echo hatch is pretty cool i think. Not my fav, but its neat. Now a regular echo. IMO no. You throw money at it and it will never return again. (though this is true of most mods on any car)

[D'z Nutz]

Yeah, that Echo hatchback looks pretty cool. Reminds me of all those cool looking little hatchbacks you see over in Europe and Asia that we don't get here.

It is one of those cool little hatches in Asia! When I was over there that's one car I could actually seen myself being able to afford and drive. I think there's even a vitz racing series too.
Found a pic of one with a kit and rims etc

Yep, to Canada only, not the States. It's gonna be called the ECHO Hatchback though, and will come in everything from basic economy to a "sporty" version with tach (ooo!) and rims and stuff...I like it WAY better than the ECHO sedan and coupe. The hatchback body just looks better proportioned or something, and the front end is nicer.

Haha nice :D

They had that red one with the bodykit at the Toronto Auto Show and it had "Turbo" badges on the fenders...didn't get a chance to pop the hood though to see if it really was or not though. That'd be sweet if they actually sold factory Turbo Vitz's...

[Speed_Dreams]

Isn't Much Music Giving away an "Echo Hatchback RS" to the winner of there VJ contest???


I saw it on the commercial....it looked decent....helluva lot better looking then the new SiR IMO
