Photograph taken looks very plished up to be a paparzi shot.

This is probably another publicity stunt for Trump done by Trump.

Only 4? You could buy the entire Lexus line for what they're getting for SLR's.

SLR is kinda cool but for that amount of money, i would get a SL65AMG and a F430spyder and spend the rest of money on mods. if i still have money left, i would go to strip club.

I'm not quite sure what you mean/your positioning, but what I meant was that people buy cars for more than just practicality. In this case the Echo is a VERY practical car. Lots of interior room for its size, great gas mileage etc.

The Echo Hatch is a great looking car! I would definately take one over a Smart car.

What I meant was that while I have respect for the fact that the Echo is a Toyota product with Toyota quality, and that I can get along without huge power figures, you and I just will disagree on its looks. To me the car looks like it went partway through a crusher at both ends and left the middle intact. And I personally would not have a car with the speedometer in the center of the dash. That effectively rules out the Echo, Scion xA, xB, Saturn Ion, Nissan Quest, and the Panoz roadsters.

I'm also talking about the Echo 2 and 4-door sedans here inthe U.S. Toyota, like it does with the Corolla , restricts the Echo hatchback to non-U.S. markets like yours in Canada.

The picture looked like Trump is complaining about something, did he get a ticket for illegal parking or something?

I wonder what would happen if Trump bought her an ultra reliable Corolla instead. Would he make headline new and be call a cheap bastard or would carguys on the net worship the dude for not wasting money on an exotic that most likely won't even be driven by his wife.

I still really like the SLR, my local dealer has one in their showroom. I've seen two on the street in LA and while I was in Chicago, there was one sitting in front of a restaurant...
Head to head...., I'd take Melania.

he's probably arguing with the building's security guard after being told that he cannot park there and have to move the car.

That's a pretty common expression on his face for Trump anyway I think . . .

Excellent point. I think he'd face a lot of crap if he'd gotten her a corolla. I can possibly seeing him gettin her a Prius simply because it seems to be some celebrity fad to have one of these in your stable to make some sort of statement. But when you're worth a supposed 3-4 Billion... I think you can afford the $100+/hour of MB labor to try to figure out which ECU failed this time...
