The iQ concept is actually an edgier version of the production Toyota iQ, which is sold in Europe and Japan. Aimed at young urban trendsetters, the 3-door hatchback is a bit larger than the smart fortwo and adds one more seat in the rear, for a total of three. It features 18-inch wheels beneath bulging wheel arches and side skirts that widen the car’s stance to make it look more aggressive. Scion will decide whether to sell a production version of the bright-yellow Scion iQ concept in the United States, depending on how people react to it. “If it should join our future lineup, I think it could reach iconic status like our xB,” said Scion Vice President Mike Hollis during the car’s unveiling.


From the auto show..... a Scion IQ :biggrin:

I think it's really cool! But even with the Yaris liftback (which I also think very cool), I saw pretty quickly that I often need to carry things that would be awkward to haul without a trunk. I'm afraid the IQ won't be practical for me.

You just need to get a small trailer, Yaris H. :smile:

Maybe the backseat could still fold down enough to allow a little but of trunk space. Wouldn't try to fit a TV in there though :laugh:

Otherwise I agree that it really is a bad ass little car:drool:

I like it all except for the wheels. The design is cool, but 18" is waaaay too big for such a small engine.
Also, the yellow/bronze combo doesn't really do it for me.
