Well i just found this and thought hey i would chime in. When i was at the NYC auto show last year watching the press release for the iQ i already knew it was delayed till August. Word i hear is that the 2012 crash test ratings are changing and the iQ would not meet them in the rear bumper so they decided to make the necessary changes now as opposed to having it come out then changing it anyway. This came from very very higher up's at scion corp so i would trust it as fact.

So they haven't changed anything since we looked at it last year in Chicago?

Picture008.jpg
But this little guy is at the Chicago auto show; on the deplay rack.

Chicago Auto Show; looks like the same one from RSVP event tour. Didn't take photos of that one.

This was from RSVP Chicago show

------

Anyone who went to Chicago auto show: Did you shut the driver's side door? And, "Yes" did you hear it rattle pretty bad? I felt that the door is much lighter than xAs. I HOPE TMC fixes that rattle problem

it sounded like CRAP!
