The hints from a few weeks ago that Toyota would be bringing the tiny iQ to the U.S. with a Scion badge are looking more and more like the truth. AutoblogGreen reader Mark F. got an email from his local Scion dealer, Bill Kidd's in Maryland, that describes "The Future of Scion." The full update on the Scion brand reads as follows:

Scion is recognized world wide for their distinctive and customizable models, with the dependability of a Toyota product. Recently, the Scion xD was recognized by Consumer Reports as the #1 reliable new car with 80% less problems than the average model. Scion remains committed to bringing Gen Y buyers a unique, yet affordable vehicle, and 2010 is sure to be the biggest year yet. The highly anticipated, newly redesigned tC will be released, as well as an all new vehicle: The Scion IQ. As the smallest, most fuel efficient Scion, it's sure to turn heads. Stay tuned!

Nothing new there, but hearing from a dealer that the Scion iQ is on the way in 2010 is about at much confirmation as we're likely to get right now, isn't it?

Here's an early comparison (June 24th, 2008) between the iQ And The Smart Car:

miniaznkid 10-29-2008 04:40 PM

cool it also said redesigned scion tc somewhere in the article

STNC 10-29-2008 04:43 PM

It looks coo

goingcarcrazy 10-29-2008 05:55 PM

So what's the probability of this car actually getting 65mpg? That must be a quote from the diesel engine.

emptystreets130 10-29-2008 06:50 PM

you do realize that is the concept photo and not the production photo.

tCtCtC 10-29-2008 06:53 PM

i want one.
i really seriously do.

goingcarcrazy 10-29-2008 06:55 PM

IMHO, I think the production version actually looks BETTER than the concept.

mattTc 10-29-2008 07:01 PM

ewwww!!!!!!
new tc FTW!

Big_Jim 10-29-2008 07:28 PM

where does that fall in the lineup? Below the xD?

riboflavin 10-29-2008 07:37 PM

Yes, because the ginornmous 'new' xB is selling SOOOO well. :rofl:

burstaneurysm 10-29-2008 09:10 PM

Yea, it should be here mid-2010.
The above are the concept pics... here are the production pics from Geneva (it will probably undergo some minor tweaks before hitting the states).

I really think this will sell well for Toyota. Look at how well the Smart is doing, and that thing needs premium gas and doesn't even do all that well in the MPG battle.

tCtCtC 10-29-2008 09:13 PM

id get this.
lower it.
rims.
swap the motor and/or turbo it
gut it.

BYE!

Zefoxe 10-29-2008 09:46 PM

im totally getting one of these

Lex-M 10-29-2008 10:41 PM

They should stick some Scion badges on it and call it the new xA.
Make the Scion line up a 4 car show.

tC_insomniac 10-29-2008 10:44 PM

:cry: im already getting prepared for the tons of insults ill receive for being a scion owner after this.
