We already have those. See the people driving Bimmers, Benzs, and SUVs, etc. to work?

I could never see a car that small as being luxurious. It just doesn't register in my mind...

Some things just shouldn't be done like Porsche making a 4 door sedan and Aston Martin selling a rebadged Toyota. Nor do I honestly believe people who are in the market for an Aston are looking for a small little commuter car, however luxurious it might be.

Oh, I have no issue w/ Scion at all. I have issues w/ useless styling flares....I really don't care what car they are on. One of the pics showed an iQ w/ such flares (hinting that this is what may come to the U.S.). I like the iQ "as is," and I'd be fine w/ a Scion badged iQ....but if that body kit could be optional, I'd be really happy.

Bottom line....the iQ pics and videos were are seeing look very cool. The pic w/ the body kit looked a bit over the top.

A few new pics... Looks like it's becoming reality.

Weird... They better do some sweet stuff with the suspension and engine then I'd consider. Need to make the yaris a work rig, this would be nice for a personal rig.

I just don't get it, frankly. I mean, I get it, but and Aston Martin-branded iQ? I'm all for subcompacts (even "premium subcompacts"), but I think the front end on this guy looks goofy.
