Concept Car Something to think about

Toyota IQ

Submitted by S J Massey (Rating: 2)

Toyota's city car concept, the IQ, is aimed at the Smart Fortwo market, though it is actually smaller. There's no mention of engine size, though the Aygo's 1-litre engine could probally fit in it, and perhaps even a electric motor instead. The car seating is 3+1, that is 3 adults and one child. To fit 3 adults in such a small car required Toyota's engineers to rearrange the chassis somewhat. The european boss Kazuhiko Miyadera states 'People won’t accept 80 percent less cabin space just because the car is 80 percent smaller'.

Way to small for my taste. Though I guess the Smart car crowd will enjoy the Toyota IQ.
