Behold...

The auto press has new info. If it's true, we're in business.

Sadly, the auto press hasn't distinguished themselves, lately.

Seriously?), I've started looking at a Honda Fit. I test-drove one yesterday with paddle shifters just to see what it was like.
It had a bit of lag between the lower gears, but it definitely handled nicely. Best of all, they were offering 0.9% for up to 36 months and 1.9% for up to 60 months.
Match that, Scion, or this two-xA owner walks, er, drives off!

I have to agree, and Scion/Toyota needs to step up on more than price. The Fit makes most of Toyota's present offerings look clumsy and dated. The Scion brand was supposed to bring in the young folks, but they won't stay unless the engineering keeps pace.

I heard from a Toyota/Scion dealer manager that the IQ will hit their showroom floor in about 2-3 weeks!

If you want good/great mpg, but don't want to break the bank, the IQ could be good (next step up would be xD / Yaris = $16K , Fit = $18K , CR-Z = $20K)

The 2012 model will have 1.3-liter, 4-cylinder with Dual VVT-i engine with front wheel drive and it will be priced around $12,000.
