How on earth do you build such a small car that gets such horrid gas mileage? Has Toyota been borrowing ideas from the CR-Z?

I'll speculate: althoug the iQ is small, its frontal area is not. Also, its drag coefficient is downright embarrasing by EM standards. Its grille and mirrors are a large percentage of its frontal area. And the aft body? It doesn't have one.

Basically, it's a Toyota Smart ForTwo. Skip it.
