I'm all itchy about the iQ coming here . . . .
But the thing that intrigues me is the fact one source said the iQ chassis would be the basis for the new Yaris.
Does this mean the Yaris is about to get a wee smaller? |

I'd say that your source was mistaken. The Yaris is considerably longer than the IQ.

The first IQ that shows up at my dealer, I am trading in my Yaris and buying the IQ.

No he's right, that's what Toyota is saying. They put a ton of R&D into changing some implementations of things like the A/C, gas tank, etc and I would guess they're going to be using the iQ platform as much as possible to offset this.
I wouldn't be surprised if the next Yaris is a little smaller on the outside, or the same, but larger on the inside. |

Yaris on the same chassis as IQ...
My next car probably won't be the new Yaris then :( Unless it will be a 5 passenger car instead of 3+1.

I read they used "microtechnology" to have things on the IQ that are just as powerful, like A/C, but use only a little room. For example, the gas tank is thin and flat, and placed underneath the entire car, etc. I want one!
