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.

And I doubt it'll come over as a 2009, since the 2009s are already appearing. If it does come over, I'd bet it'd be a 2010 at the earliest.

every company does this. They leek to the press and get a buzz going before the big unveiling which in this case will come shortly in November at the LA Auto Show.

"We’ll have more details as they become available around L.A. auto show time, but you heard it here first: Toyota is going to get Smart by giving iQ to Scion and America."

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

There was one out in the Hamptons a couple weeks ago (brought over from Europe [Toyota]) when Top Gear was doing photo shoots. A friend of mine who used to have a bad ass Evo drove it around. When I got out there, I met the guys from Top Gear and saw a few cars. Unfortunately the iQ wasn't around. Only the new Galardo and new VW Cirraco(sp).

Galardo almost backed into my Yaris by a couple of inches. Should have had them hit it and then said, "OK, now give me the keys to the iQ."

Honestly, I like them and would get one just to tell people who see me in my Yaris, "You think this is small, you should see my other car." Then you can get away with telling the ladies, "Big things come in small packages!" <--- corny, yeah I know.
