at first i thought you guys were just being
picky about the tires on the Max, but today
i saw a brand new toyota ECHO with..........you
guessed it....bridgestone potenza re92's.
of course 14's vs 17's but i thought this was a 4DSC?
does that mean the 4dr echo is one too?

Well they got the 4 part right, but I can't see how an echo is a sports car with a 1.5 liter 4-cyl engine and 108 ponies of raw Toyota power No but seriously not dissing any of the Toyota folks in here (if we have any?) but the Echo is the ugliest car in the world honestly....Just my $0.02

well Insight is truly ugly, but it is a hybrid and I guess thats pretty cool so the fact that it's a hybrid kinda sorta makes up for the ugliness but the Focus really isn't that ugly I actually like it, I would never buy a FORD though but I like the focus.

Wait, wait, wait. Is everyone forgetting how ugly the Pontiac Aztek is? At least people buy the Echo, but I hardly ever see the Aztek on the road (I don't count the one they give away to the winner of each 'Survivor' either! )

BTW, I don't think the Ford Focus looks bad at all. It's a good replacement for their old Escort and Contour model lines with a dash of outrageous styling. For a compact car, I dig it.

well kenny I agree with you the Aztec is super ugly and like you I also totally dig the focus, it's weird how like it came out in europe in like 97!

Annimax: I actually like the Rendevous, wouldnt buy it, if I was gettin an SUV I would get the RX-300, Nissan Frontier Quad (or Crew) the 4 door one with a short bed or the chevy avalanch.

The bodies are the same but the lights are different and the buick has some cool gadgets inside.
