i want 1

It was either Motor Trend or Car and Driver that had an article saying that it would never come to the U.S. but that it was the #1 saler in Japan.

NJBob · 03-05-2009, 05:59 AM

It outsmarts the smart. Nearly 100 hp, MANUAL tranny, 50 mpg..I bet it even has a spare tire and a jack. hehehe

LEGATO`` · 03-05-2009, 06:13 AM

reminds me of a smart version of the scion XD

SailDesign · 03-05-2009, 08:51 AM

I WANT ONE!!!!!

wooverstone8 · 03-05-2009, 02:30 PM

I thought this car was coming to U.S. shores, but as Scion? No?

That's what I thought, too. Maybe the Canadians will get it, and we can bring a few down here.....

That would be sweet!

KCALB SIRAY · 03-05-2009, 03:06 PM

I want the paint code for the Astral Black!

cali yaris · 03-05-2009, 03:11 PM

that is just so cool -- LOVE that color too. Anyone know what motor they are using? I've heard 1.0, 1.3 and 1.5L

KCALB SIRAY · 03-05-2009, 03:14 PM

Pretty sure it's the 1.3, but who knows. The media says one thing and Toyota does another

nemelek · 03-05-2009, 03:18 PM

People say that my Yaris is too small. In fact as a commuter car it has more room than I need. This car would be perfect for me.

Bredayaris · 03-05-2009, 04:47 PM

I've seen one at my local Toyota dealer 1 month ago.
It's a nice car and best looking in white is my opinion.

It's sold here as a 1.0 and 1.3 vvti petrol and a 1.4 d-4d diesel just like in my Yaris.

The next car i'm going to buy is going to be a Urban Cruiser that's for sure.
But the iQ is a nice car too!

NJBob · 03-05-2009, 08:55 PM

No biggy for me. I just ride to work and around town.....no real demands. I'm curious to see when or if this thing comes out and how it'll be configured.

Danish Yaris · 03-06-2009, 12:40 PM

Hi

I was driving the car as I was testing it for Toyota last Tuesday and also the new Toyota Avensis.
The IQ drives great and it´s a 1,0 with 68hp. and a 1,4 D4D with 90hp. In June or so it will come in a 1,3 with 99hp., but it´s a eco engine so it´s not that fast for 99hp.

Regards Steven.

minired5stby · 03-06-2009, 04:48 PM

Well it looks like the car is coming to the U.S. as a Hybrid in 2012. I think that sucks, it would be better as a regular car due to cost and to get rid of that Smart a.k.a. Clown Car oh well. You can find out more about it at:

The steering has a good, natural feel to it, but it doesn't take long for the little front tires to surrender purchase and leave you in ESP-slowed limboland. During our recent drive of the Ford Ka, we found it roomier than the iQ for the same price, and far more fun."

"0-to-60 is about 14 sec, and with a top speed of just 93 mph, you've very little in reserve for fast highway upgrades or even headwinds."

that right there is the killer

they rated the ford Ka over this car :::shocked:::

interesting read, dont really know how i feel about it.....

i think i like the cube a lot better but hard to tell until you really get to drive one

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/..._iq/index.html

This car has nothing to do with a Ford Ka.
This is a much smarter but also smaller car.

Then again i don't like the new Fords with their ''overdesign''.
And we had 3 Fords but never!! again.
