Hi Lars-ss:

___I will be looking forward to your post about the show. I hope it’s a good one!

___Could you hit up Toyota on the Yaris and when their Li-ION Stop/Start in one will be imported as well as squeeze Honda for everything about the controversial FE of the upcoming Fit? Honda will not give you a second of their time but the Toyota folks might? Try anyway …

___I saw a post of yours over at Edmunds about the Echo and that it is incapable of 60 mpg over a tank or lmpg. Be careful with that kind of challenge because an Echo pilot might just take you to the woodshed on that one! Even though I dislike the looks, ergonomics, and general layout, I would like a shot at one for a month or two and I have a sneaky suspicion that thing could scare some HCH-I and Prius I drivers …

___Good Luck
