sweeeet. I like the premium idea but you know how stubborn people can be. They'll just equate size (oh how familiar does that sound) with cost. The bigger it is, the more expensive it should be. The smaller, the cheaper. Look at how people have been complaining about the smart. $12k for it.. omg I can get a Yaris for that. Well then no one's forcing you to get a smart, get your damn Yaris!
</rant>
anyway, hope we see it sooner than later.

I think the MINI has changed that thought process somewhat. Of course, maybe people won't be as kind with a mass-market brand name.

I would like to have a upscale mini car like other countries have--small doesn't need to be bare bones basic...my 08 honda fit has cruise, front airbags,side airbags,head airbags,standard ABS, and the 09 is coming with stability and even a navigational system. Guys, i'm not asking for leather, but these features need to be standard on EVERY car. I was thinking of an 09 fit but if Toyota is gonna bring this little IQ to the states w/ the same options standard, i'll definitely wait and buy the IQ!!
i much rather prefer the Aygo but then again knowing toyota we won't get either one
I too prefer the Aygo, if the Aygo was available now I'd buy one. The Yaris is already quite fun to throw around, with the Aygo's lower weight it would probably be pure fun considering how well it moves thanks to Top Gear Aygo soccer. The Aygo is certainly going to be cheaper than the iQ and the Yaris, for me this time around I like the cheaper route.
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. http://www.ukipme.com/engineoftheyea...s_08/sub1.html
The Aygo is bigger than the iQ right? i sure hope they dont replace the aygo cause that thing's got a 1.0L engine too and u get more cargo room and stuff, not that a 1.0L engine can haul much lol but im sure the aygo would sell for much less since the whole idea of the aygo was to be an economical city car with a basic interior....
by all means this iQ does look very fun and attractive...but if the price tag is around the corolla band then i don't think they'll sell too many of these things
