I could get used to having the instruments not directly in front of me, for the right car.

Speaking of that car...

Any bets on how long the Yaris (Echo's successor) lasts in the U.S.?

Look at this year's sales numbers for the hatchback:
  • Jan: 174 (down from 1330 a year ago)
  • Feb: 136 (1057)
  • Mar: 144 (1377)
  • Apr: 131 (1522)
  • May: 139 (852)

These are horrid numbers for the U.S. market size. (EG. Mitsubishi sold over 3k Mirages last month.)
Whew! I feared the worst when clicking on this thread. I'm still entertaining the idea of buying a used Mirage someday, and folks need to keep buying them new if I'm going to do that.
