Scion iQ Hits the Road in Pics & Vid
The Scion iQ concept may be one of the most intensely futuristic cars (at least from Toyota) to hit American roads since Smart’s fortwo. We do not necessarily mean with its onboard technology, we’re more speaking from a design standpoint. City Cars are the latest trend in many countries, and the way we fight for fuel and environment, and the fact that populations are exploding the New York to LA – we may see a future of nothing but tiny rides.
Introduced at the New York Auto Show, this Scion made a tiny splash on the awaiting crowd, who flashed cameras and iPhones at the new city car. However, the car was introduced with modifications that make more sense at the Tokyo Auto Salon, including 10-inch LCD screens and surround sound that will make your film geek cousin jealous.
We have reported on Toyota’s attempts to get the iQ to American markets, and we hope a production ready (for the USA) mini car will hold a decent amount of extras, with a low price tag. Scion may now be competing not only with Toyota’s Yaris, the Mini Cooper and Smart’s fortwo – but with new comers Soul (from Kia) and Ford’s revived Fiesta. Once an official price tag is released Scionpedia will be the first to drop it for you!
