The Yaris is too practical for me, in my opinion it's just perfect.

54 mpg though? Wow, I bet it's reasonably priced as well!

regal · 06-01-2009, 10:46 AM

Oh man I thought it was the 2010 MY in July?

thebarber · 06-01-2009, 10:47 AM

lol, toyota make anything that handles like its on rails these days? LOL

and ya, trade in on a yaris and lose money due to depreication to get a car thats smaller and a bit better on gas? fail.

I've test driven the Smartcar and believe me even Toyota can't make something with THAT short a wheelbase (on the IQ) ride like anything but a bucking bronco. The Yaris will seem like a stretch limo compared to this puppy.

staypuft · 06-01-2009, 11:02 AM

im thinking about going with a nissan cube

staticorex · 06-01-2009, 11:06 AM

^ Why? Just curious.

MadMax · 06-01-2009, 11:15 AM

Nope, the iQ is not even in the same class as the Yaris. More along the lines of a Smart car competitor, but I need the ability to carry three other people and some cargo; and, as previously stated, nothing with such a short wheelbase is going to corner that well. The COG is too high!

Plus, I love my Yaris too much!

My thoughts exactly.

enviri · 06-01-2009, 12:03 PM

badged as a scion too, wouldnt it be priced REALLY high too?

regal · 06-01-2009, 12:36 PM

It looks low weight and low center of gravity, great mpg

wooverstone8 · 06-01-2009, 01:14 PM

I'll probably won't be trading my Yaris for the IQ, but am glad to see it coming to the states.

Morgan · 06-01-2009, 01:31 PM

yeah the cog is too high for autox so i'll be sticking with the yaris for now... and I have an awesome supercharger to play with and keep me happy for a while

tuckevalastin · 06-01-2009, 01:40 PM

well since it's US competitors will most likely be:
Fiat 500
Ford Ka
Chevy Spark
Smart Fortwo,
I doubt it will be any cheaper of a car than the Yaris when it comes to initial cost.

Also it's a city car and a Toyota so it's not going to handle so let's forget about that.

Finally it's just not useful for me so I'd never even consider one.

Morgan · 06-01-2009, 02:10 PM

yeah if it was between the iQ and the 500... well, how could you not?

Tamago · 06-01-2009, 02:15 PM

i bet it handles like garbage

The little red pill · 06-01-2009, 02:27 PM

I plan on keeping my car for 5+ years at a minimum. People lose so much money trading cars. Plus, even though I've got 30 years, I saving for retirement. I don't plan on working the rest of my life to support auto dealers. lol.
