At less than 3 meters in length, the Toyota IQ concept, is an ultra compact, space efficient environmentally friendly vehicle which is the worlds smallest 4 seater. Created at ED2, Toyota's design studio in the south of France, the IQ concept combines a dynamic, edgy form with a functional interior that can seat four passengers or three with luggage space. The exterior consists of a a cab-forward silhouette with ultra-short overhangs, 17 inch wheels and a panoramic glass sunroof. The space-saving interior has a dashboard that sweeps away from the front passenger giving them more room, an information display mounted above the steering column, and audio and navigation controls mounted on the steering wheel. Also at the core of this design is safety, with a strong passenger compartment safety cell providing optimal impact absorption. A mildly restyled version of the IQ, with an engine from Yamaha, will go into production in 2009, with approximately 100,000 vehicles built each year in Japan 80000 of which are expected to be exported to Europe.

70 a week is what we call: "exaggerating".

[eugenechan87]

Are u bloody kidding me? I worked over there for over 3 years now and people start work at 8am and usually end at 8pm. They work 6 days a week on average and usually more. A 70 hour week is the norm. And the US?

Ever heard of "Karoshi"? Some Japanese don't work too hard. Toyota staff hump it!
