Micro -subcompact concept Toyota iQ will be rebadged as the Scion iQ. It will be sold here in the States. A logical comparison or rival to the Smart, it will most likely be powered by a larger 1.3 L inline-4 instead of the JDM & European markets' 1.0 L inline-3 cylinder. Rough estimates at 100 hp -100 torque, with 60's mpg marks supposedly higher than the smaller 3 cylinder. Scion's version will be more aggressively styled compared to the Toyota's show concept vehicle. Exaggerated flares, flame-flare front fascia & unique show fitment wheels. Youth market pricing to start at $15 K. iQ hopefully to build loyal eco-cool niche along side Toyota's new gen eco-green Prius.
