I got an email from Scion the other day -- the iQ will be available soon. It will have a 1.3L 4-cylinder and a CVT transmission and it is rated by the EPA at a measly 36/37/37MPG.
Yeah, just about as disappointing as the new Yaris numbers! Thats not to mention the $32k plugin prius price... I was looking forward to that car until I heard the price.
