can't agree more! !
Central dials immediately rule it out of alot of markets though.
bodykit helps it, but like they say - you can't polish a turd ! ! ! !

If you drive it backwards it's not FWD.
How would central dials rule it out of markets?

It's a toyota product relabeled as a Scion brand but sold at toyota dealerships. start at about 13/14 thousand USD.
Couldn't give you any details if its built on an echo, though I don't believe it is.
That's actually the best looking xA I've seen, they also have a xb and tC (coupe) in the scion line of vehicles. The xA/xB been out in japan for 3-4 years now and were in several video games.

|
didnt the new mini have to have extra dials stuck behind the wheel, because originally it only has the tacho centrally mounted which was illegal here?
Oh, i like the 1st one too.

Exactly. In some markets (like Australia) there's rules about the speedo being within a certain field of vision for the driver. That's why the Aus-delivered mini has the speedo behind the s/wheel, and a centrally mounted monster-tacho that'd make any VL-Turbo driving wog green with envy ! ! !
Check out the dash of Aussie road-reg'd GT40 replicas, and you'll see the same thing: big dumb speedo mounted above the s/wheel, and tacho mounted uselessly off to the middle of the dash, where the originals had the speedo.
-that is all.

How about the current Echo, that has centrally mounted gauges, and its Aust Delivered.
