The power/weight ratio should be similar to a tC. Should be pretty fun to drive, and get good gas mileage with the 6sp.

Default Thank for the props

Just wanted to post some of my images from the Reveal today. Overall it went very well. Props to Brian and O2 for another awesome presentation. Dave Mitchell and the peeps at George P for taking care of the car.

Most of all Scion Corp, for giving us the opportunity again to work on an awesome potential. I really believe the IQ will be a hit, so bring it on and we'll make some cool stuff for it....okay don't quote me on that.

Team Five Axis, you guys make this all possible. Thanks for the late nights and my last minute ch-changes! It's always a grind, at the time, but so worth it in the end!

Thanks to all of our supporters. Been meeting and spending time with some good people lately. Hawaii SE, Mahalo for the hospitality a few weeks ago!

Kennedy, welcome back buddy!

Okay ENJOY!

i don't think they had hp in mind when they designed it :-|

more like good fuel economy and easy parking for big cities.

Expecting high hp out of something like this is like expecting Bush to say something articulate, it's retarded.

I love it, if I could I would get an iQ.

Default Badge-engineering at it's worst

Why is everyone so excited about this? So they brought the iQ to Scion...didn't we all know that would happen eventually?

Scion was SUPPOSED to have moved beyond just bringing Toyota concepts from over-seas and into novel concepts geared to a US customer base. (This was the goal outlined from the start)

Let's not forget that GM is where it is today because it Badge-Engineered ALL of it's cars. Toyota needs to learn that lesson FAST.

GM is where they are today cause they were paying my cousin; and every other UAW worker, well over 70K a year to install radios! Thats right, 70,000$ to plug in a radio on the pick up line in Linden NJ. For the last 3 years that Linden was on again off again she was still collecting her paycheck and still holding onto her bennies. That went on for 3 years until they finally bought her out 4 years ago to the tune of 120K.

Thats the majority of the reason why GM and the others cant bail themselves out ... cause of good ol American greed.
