Not smarts, exactly. But a Smart-like car. It’s the Toyota iQ, already sold in Japan and Europe. Now it may come to the U.S. It’s a “sub-cmpact” which gets over 50 MPG with a standard gasoline engine. The iQ is being shown at the New York car show this week.
One Toyota exec said the shift toward smaller, fuel-efficient cars is an irreversibvle trend and the iQ is positioned to fit future small car demand.
Here’s the CNET gallery of iQ photos from the New York show.
