Toyota wants to bring their Smart Car sized two-seater iQ to the United States branded as a Scion. No word on whether or not the iQ name tag will remain on Scion’s vehicle, but this micro-subcompact is destined to be a top selling city car, and fits the design make up of edgy, generation-twitter car buyers who purchase Scions.

One can assume the iQ will keep its 1.3 liter 4-cyl. pumping out a tiny yet impressive 99 horse power. A 3-cylinder with only 68 horse power may also be available from your Toyota/Scion dealer, which is perfect for those going between Brooklyn and the financial district on weekdays. Check out more in the Scion press release below.

Toyota iQ coming to US as Scion

Scion will unveil a micro-subcompact concept car at the 2009 New York International Auto Show. The concept reflects Scion’s youthful image and represents a new segment for the brand aimed toward the growing urbanization trend.

The Scion press conference will take place on Wednesday, April 8 at 12:05 p.m. EDT in the Galleria on level four in the Javits Convention Center.

Production versions of the xB urban utility vehicle, tC sports coupe and xD urban subcompact five-door will be on display in the Scion space as well as five highly-modified vehicles that debuted at the 2008 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas.
