7 passengers? Fuck that, I'm not cramming my face in some dude's ass.

I SO wanna drive a Pokemon around town... C'MON TOYOTA! Get this into America NOW! Oh wait, this thing must have such awesome gas mileage that no American - oops, I mean AmeriCAN'T car can compete with it. Plus the reliability and awesomeness of Toyota, America will probably ban it for making its cars look bad (as if their cars didn't already look bad). But the rednecks will keep buying American cars and send jobs to Mexico, with some pay as well. GO TOYOTA!

@sandysun714 ,,,, what do you prefer a hummer, or mustang,,,, cadillacs etc,,,, cars ready to do cheselsss?

[Neonspinnazz30]

hardly 3 seater, I sat in it at the New York Auto Show and had a friend sit in the rear seat...Not comfortable...And the fourth seat is utterly useless...Not to mention my friend's hair was in the rear window. No matter how many airbags it has, it won't matter if that rear structure can't take a hit because that Hummer's bumper's going straight through that window.

"Funky image"? I wouldn't worry about, the majority of Scion buyers are old people anyway...

@sandysun714

I choose YOU, scion iQ!

There's no cruise control.. :(

Dear Toyota,

Stop fucking around and sell it in America NOW.

[jaredkorb]

This one is not stock. 5Axis was invited to heavily mod it. I don't know if they'd all look this way, even if they keep branding it as a Scion.

[ArabianKnight1201]

I will go to britain get one and comeback if they dont sell it here pffffff

-4 Passengers: Think not unless the 4th passenger is a very small child. The 4th seat is literally only half a seat.

-0-60: 11s (98hp) 14.7 (80hp)

-Safety: Take a look at the 2008 Toyota Yaris' ratings (without side airbags).

-Fuel consumption: Rivals the smart...

-Price tag: Equal to a smart coupe.

-Style: A very unconventional design. Looks small but aggressive and fast.

-Top Speed: 85mph

-Horsepower: 80 (base) 98 (higher end)

Sounds like a fun smart competitior to me!
