I stopped in at my Toyota Scion dealer and the IQ has created quite a rumor. I was asked if I was waiting for the Scion IQ to come.

I have to laugh...... car sales are down over 45% and salespeople are asking me if I want a car that has not even come to the USA. Same thing at the Chevy dealer asking me if I am interested in the Volt.

It is a shame that they are "banking" on things not yet available.

because if it flops, toyota won't be fully attached to it..

that's why scion was it's own brand to begin with.. to protect the camry-loving corporation that is TOA

Having seen Toyota kill some great cars such as the MR2, Celica, Supra...it would seem Scion is the young and fun company while Toyota has become the Medicare Division.

Stargate YARlantIS · 10-30-2008, 11:22 AM

ahhh I see the big picture now...

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 10-30-2008, 03:07 PM

im sure the others who work for toyota will agree with me. they had one(white toyota badged) at the recent dealer's meeting in vegas. in fact its the same one thats been doing the rounds as far as pictures go. everyone was told to expect a 2009 release......

Bob_VT · 10-30-2008, 03:14 PM

I was told that the other day at my old dealership. Rockland is on the money.

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 10-30-2008, 03:51 PM

im sure it will be there but probably still with toyota badges......

Zefoxe · 10-30-2008, 05:47 PM

If I'm not mistaken, a set 2010 model is typically released 2009 no?

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 10-31-2008, 07:25 AM

im thinking MY09 with a 2010 model designation.

December's Car and Driver has a small article on the iQ but does not mention that it will be badged as a Scion.

Toyota IQ named Japan's Car of the Year.
