Scion iQ: Good Idea or Bad?
Tuesday, January 11, 2011
These are photos of the upcoming Scion iQ. Toyota has been shopping this around at the car shows for a couple of years now and will finally bring it to the U.S. market as a Scion. It is aimed directly at the Smart ForTwo (get it? Smart . . . iQ?).
Toyota is calling the iQ a 3+1 passenger car. The front passenger is supposed to sit forward of the driver to allow enough room for someone to sit in the back seat behind him/her. The minuscule space behind the driver is the +1 part of the equation and apparently means a small pet or single bag of groceries. With the rear seat in the upright position there is almost enough cargo space for a few file folders or a laptop case.
Also notice the luxurious fabrics in which the interior is swathed. If this doesn't bring Scion back from the brink, well perhaps nothing can.
