Cool. This could turn out to be more exciting than the CR-Z.

I added the current UK model Toyota iQ to the drag coefficient wiki. With a drag area of 6.89ft^2, it's not great. Don't expect amazing highway fuel economy. But with a curb weight of 1859lb for the 3-door with the 1.0L, it weighs almost as little as a first-gen Honda Insight. I figure the 1.5L hybrid should weigh 2000lb, and get amazing city MPG. It would be a great candidate for a PHEV conversion.

Hopefully the 5-door version is longer, lower, and has the same Cd as the Prius: 0.25. Yeah, I know, keep dreaming.
