Talk:Toyota Vitz

message: In the U. S., the article says it was a flop that, as of 2004, has only "one year of production" in the U.S. But the October 2005 Consumer Reports, page 14, lists it as one of the "New and Notable: Cars to Watch in 2006-7" and says "It should continue as a fuel-efficient small car... Small cars often grow with redesigns so you may see a longer, wider Echo and possibly a hatchback version." Dpbsmith (talk) 22:05, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In conclusion, basically the original Yaris/Echo was a flop in the US (since Americans like big road hogs not small cars). I suspect Toyota decided to have another go given that fuel economy is no longer something Americans can afford to ignore... Nil Einne 07:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Discontinued in the U.S.? Or not?

message: I don't see any fuel economy estimates here! This was a huge selling point for the Yaris in England - the diesel in particular gets an estimated 68 imperial gallons combined city/highway driving. I hear that the Yaris as marketed stateside will top out at 37 MPG. Yuck. 71.116.217.242 18:46, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Seconded, we need to boldy state the MPG of the Echo in the article.  It is one of the most significant details about the car.  It competes with hybrids, and costs sooooo much less, especially used (and used Echo's maintain their value really well). Mathiastck 19:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  MPG 

message: Any better photos out there for the new version?  They've been advertising it heavily on the web, but the current photo for this article is a rather dark photo of a dirty car from a bad angle. ~ Oswald Glinkmeyer 15:12, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Better photo? 

message: I think it's completely against Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names) to call this article "Vitz". Who calls it like that, anyway? Is it a factory name? If it's sold all around the world as "Yaris", why would we use the factory name? The disambiguation with Toyota Belta can be done some other way. --Joy [shallot] 21:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

text: According to the WP automobile project, the home market name is preferred. Also, the Toyota Yaris article explains that the 'Yaris', 'Echo', 'Platz', 'Belta' and 'Vitz' names differ for each market and then gives link a link to here. Your edits were in good faith but I will have to undo them.   Stepho  (talk) 00:36, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  title 

message: I had already read the Wikipedia article and was looking on Google when I found an article on Blogspot that is nearly identical to the Wikipedia article.  I haven't had time yet to read all of the Wikipedia rules but somehow it seems like there should at least be a link from here to there unless this article was written first.  The blogspot is from January 2007.
Also, a couple of things to respond to some earlier stuff said...don't try and compare mpg ratings using imperial gallons.  The US mpg ratings do not use imperial gallons.  Four US gallons = FIVE Imperial gallons.  Ratings have to be multiplied by .8 to compensate.  And isn't it still called the Vitz in Japan?  Stupid Toyota, three names for the same car was a stupid idea from the start. Mewsterus (talk) 22:14, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  An external page mimicing Wikipedia? 

message: I propose to standardise the units on metric first, rather than the rather mixed-up units at the moment, as recommended in the Wikipedia MoS for non-US-specific articles. Any objections? Peter Barber (talk) 09:46, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Consistent units? 

message: when was the Yaris ever called the Echo?  While I can see that they are similar enough to share chassis and most mechanical components as well as interior, the Echo is much taller and with a humongous arse of a boot.  It is usually seen here in the Middle East in the form of the poverty spec hire car.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.107.130.93 (talk) 09:17, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  echo / yaris 

message: I just bought a Toyota Vitz from a private person here in Maputo (Mozambique)but the owner's manual is all in Chinese, and Toyota in Maputo do not have this model nor the owner's manual in English. 
Could you please help me in getting the manual in English? or telling me if the manual is available on the internet?
Your help will be much appreciated.
Best Regards

thread_title:  Car owner manuals 

message: Recently the predecessor in the top infobox (ie not a generation infobox) added the Echo as the predeccessor for the N.American Vitz. Problem is, the Echo is listed as starting in 1999 and the Vitz is listed as starting in 1998. Seems kind of quirky and backwards. I gather the real intention was to show that the N.America XP10 Echo (which was really a variation of the XP10 Vitz anyway) was the predecessor of the N.America XP20 Vitz. I just can't think of a good way to put that in infoboxes that doesn't also require a big dose of qualification in the body text. Thoughts?  Stepho  (talk) 04:24, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's simply trying to force a North American model cycle into an article that is supposed to represent an international perspective. The 2006 model year Yaris (Vitz) hatchback did not directly replace the Echo (Platz) coupe and sedan. Although the Yaris (Belta) sedan did replace the Echo (Platz) sedan, the coupe was not really replaced at all. OSX (talk • contributions) 08:31, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In the U.S. at least, the three-door Yaris definitely fills the market position left by the two-door Echo. Whether that's worth putting in an infobox is another question. IFCAR (talk) 14:11, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree but it's not really a replacement as such but a substitution. Taking into consideration all markets, the original Vitz hatchback was replaced by a new generation of the same. The Platz sedan was replaced by the Belta, while the coupe was discontinued. As Stepho said above, it is not attainable to show that the XP20 Yaris replaced the XP10 Echo using an infobox. It will work if explained using prose. OSX (talk • contributions) 08:26, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
