Default [picture]...Scion iQ



The iQ concept is actually an edgier version of the production Toyota iQ, which is sold in Europe and Japan. Aimed at young urban trendsetters, the 3-door hatchback is a bit larger than the smart fortwo and adds one more seat in the rear, for a total of three. It features 18-inch wheels beneath bulging wheel arches and side skirts that widen the car’s stance to make it look more aggressive. Scion will decide whether to sell a production version of the bright-yellow Scion iQ concept in the United States, depending on how people react to it. “If it should join our future lineup, I think it could reach iconic status like our xB,” said Scion Vice President Mike Hollis during the car’s unveiling.

I think the new Kia soul looks much nicer. I saw the commercial with the little mice and I think the car is square on for its target demographic. We are going to see a lot of those on the roads soon

Actually looks quite aggressive if that concept vehicle models the same lines into production. Much better than the Smart Car IMO.
