IQ= Death Trap

at least the smart has lots of safety technology in it. and on topof all u can put a hayabusa motor in the smart...One my friends did and that thing is no joke!

jct

the tata nano is a death trap i wouldn't own any thing that's made in india thats just glued together let alone tech support from the same company

smart car for the win

FYI, for those not willing to actually read the article (and do the math), it's 23k / l, which equals 54.1 mpg (US).

And the deathtrap comments are hilarious. How do you think your favorite supercar or roadster would fare in an accident with a semi/F250/etc? Are you really going to let something like that determine what you're going to drive and how much fun you're going to have doing it?

You can't judge the IQ based on what was at the Auto Show (I was just there yesterday). That is a heavily modded one... until you see the real one in person, I'd hold off.

huslindan

those ppl at the scion booth new nothing at the show i asked them about the tobaru and they said there is no such thing and when they asked about what is different about a rs series and i said custom paint they said that thats not the biggest thing about a rs

SquallLHeart

they hire outside agencies to be there.. most of them are just pretty boy models or sexy ladies that go thru a bare minimum training to present what they need to.

of course most enthusiasts would know more stuff than them

but there are the occasional higher ups, and they're playing stupid because they can't say anything

cobb

You think its ugly, wait til you see an xb.

First dibs on the beanie.

huslindan

if your going to the show to see it make sure you bring your keys if you own a scion and they will give you something. i didnt have my keys and they didnt beleve me . but a kid at the hyundai both got a whole car care kit. i wonder what scion would of gave me

cobb

Never been to Jersery, farthest Nawth I have been is Lake Aerial, PA. I have a habit of leaving my keys in my desk at work and have to resort to a spare in my wallet.

indyTC

its not a death trap, it has 9 airbags :D hahaha

skybluescion

i want one of those more than i wanted my tc. and i REALLY wanted my tc

cobb

No joke, its the first car I believe to offer a rear air bag.

BZinn1

it is the car that will force me to trade in my Yaris,mind you I love the Yaris,drives on a tank of gas forever,corners very well,comfy to drive,looks great,but the iQ is super hot,very nice look to it and is no less safe than most other cars.

cobb

Me too. I am driving my metro that gets 48mpg where as other owners are getting 60+. I maybe driving 104 miles a day for my new job and every mpg counts.

skybluescion

yeah but you got your metro for one hundred dollars lol. that's a pretty sweet deal. but don't get me wrong, if you're in the market for an iQ, then go for it. it's got me thinking about trading mine in too!
