you do realize that the widebody kit on the yellow show car isn't standard, right?

Top Gear quite likes this car, and says that men would like it more because women can't appreciate the tech aspects of it (for what that's worth). I think it's cute too, but it's alarmingly small for a four-seater.

It actually looks like all the avatars of the cars that have been "miniaturized" in photochop. Wow, life does imitate art... And art imitates TV.

it's listed as a 3+1. the front passenger seat will move up enough to allow one adult in the back. the seat behind the driver has zero leg room.snaab wrote: I think it's cute too, but it's alarmingly small for a four-seater.

If it came looking like that and with a 2L, I'd be damn hard pressed not to buy one!

Will, perhaps you need to clarify what we're looking at in the picture/article since it's a concept of a car that's already been in production...sirwilliam wrote:You think?Mr Kleen wrote:you do realize that the widebody kit on the yellow show car isn't standard, right?
That's the Scion iQ concept - a variation of the already-on-sale-in-the-rest-of-the-world Toyota iQ. Take it away AutoBlog:
The production Toyota iQ doesn't look nearly as obnoxious:To no ones surprise, Toyota unveiled the Scion iQ concept today at the New York Auto Show. Ever since the iQ debuted in Europe last year, the expectation has been that Toyota would sell the micro compact car as a Scion here in the U.S. to compete against the Smart ForTwo. What surprised us were the modifications made to the iQ for its debut in the States. In keeping with the customization culture that is rampant among Scion owners, the concept features widely flared fenders and super-size 18-inch wheels.
Like the current production model, the concept iQ features 3+1 seating with a very compact air conditioning unit that fascilitates an asymmetrical dashboard. This allows the front passenger seat to slide forward so that one adult can fit in the back. The seat behind the driver, however, is strictly for the legless. One new innovation in the iQ is a rear window airbag that provides protection to rear seat passengers whose heads are butted up against the rear glass. The concept also features lots of special lighting and a pop-up 10-inch LCD embedded in the dash.
Scion is just evaluating the iQ for U.S. introduction, but we would be shocked not to see it sold here soon.

Yes, it is obvious I forgot to put the word "CONCEPT" in the headline of thread but if you actually CLICK on the link to the article or look at the picture, you will see it is the concept car.
