Toyota Aygo/IQ - Toyota Yaris Forums

otterhere · 01-30-2009, 05:01 PM

These are purported to get amazing gas mileage (up to 90 mpg), but isn't it likely that, should they come to this country, U.S. gas emissions standards will, as with the Smart Twofer, greatly reduce mpg capability? The Smart gets 60 mpg in Europe, but only 40 here (as I understand it) for that reason.

I realize this is a Yaris forum, but what do we know about these cars; anyone?

Tamago · 01-30-2009, 05:30 PM

MotorTrend just did a one page review on this car and in the box where it said "coming to the US" it said "Never" Now I've read on IQ sites this car should be getting around 50mpg, but have read no confirmation on this. The car was released a month ago in Europe and Japan-but to answer your question-I don't think it is so much the emission components so much as added weight from safety and crash requirements in the US. The Smart ForTwo only gets 60+ mpg with the diesel which is available everywhere but here of course.

I thought this new model shares our 1.5L motor? NO?

no offense, but i sincerely hope that it does not share our powerplant. it's a little archaic. i want to see a 1.4L D4D in it!
