I think it looks better than the current model. The current model looks a little to "cute" if you know what I mean.

Well I'll be...

Thanks...I hate echos...and I WAS thinking about getting an XB as a daily driver/work car...I work in Real Estate so a good gas mileage roomy car with utility would have worked great...plus the car is so cheap...

But now...I dunno...I may be irrational for it, but I hate the echo, and it gives me a bad feeling about the scions now.

Looks like a baby matrix to me, but still a improvement to the current model.

Doesn't look much different than the current Echo hatch sold up here in Canada, which IMO is ugly.
