My theory is that IQ is a replacement for Aygo.Now that this size car is entering the American market it must have a serious safety cage like the Smart.Toyota has the Mini and the A3 to thank for exploring higher price points on small cars but Toyota will bring more value to the equation.We may also see the Auris coming here as a upscale version of the Corolla.Especially with the advent of the Vavematic 2.0,this engine will probably only be available with high trim levels at first.The next Yaris (2010?)will be much safer and will probably offer the Valvematic 1.6(124 hp)for a great power to weight ratio(20 to 1) combined with small car tossability,hopefully at around 2400lbs.The IQ will have the award winning 1 liter,for a 55 to 60 mpg average.but at a weight(sub 1 ton) that will lend it only to city use.
