i actually like this car, alot. one main reason for me NOT liking the smart car, besides the fact that the only color i have seen in the states is p&&&y magnet yellow, is its built by merc, which has been near the bottom for quite some time on quality surveys.
this car has seating for 3, more interior room than the forTwo, i think its a great little car, will likely cost less than the forTwo (hopefully anyway) and will likely prove to be a better car. im eagerly awaiting for the camo to drop off and for the car to hit showrooms in '09/'10.

nah, yaris and xA/xD were replacements to the echo which was a replacement to the tercel. this car slots under the yaris as a super compact. this is a great city car, and i think it will do well in this country as we switch from 6000 pound, 8mpg hummers to something more in the range of 2000 pounds or less, with 40 mpg or more (with a traditional drivetrain, either gas or diesel). cars big enough to go shopping, but not so big you cant park them in a standard parking space.
i really hope this is well received in this country. so far the forTwo is doing well, and i think as gas climbs up into the $5 range, we will see alot more demand for small, inexpensive city cars.

Kind of looks like the smart cars. I see them in downtown Sacramento weekly. If I had one I'd be afraid someone would pick it up, put it in the back of a pick up and drive away.
theyll sell big time! i aggree....just wondering why they didnt go with a new design....it still looks like cars they have already put out.

should add also since it is such a concern with small vehicles, it got a 5 star (euro) safety award. http://www.leftlanenews.com/toyota-iq.html

It has to be said,
I like it, and I kinda like the smart, but read a review on those. The tranny is terrible and the MPG aren't much better than a prius which is a much larger car. I really hope they bring the iQ here, would possibly be interested.
