The Toyota iQ will be making it onto American shores in the form of a Scion. A concept version of the Scion-badged car was shown at the New York International Auto Show 2009 this week. But it was no regular iQ – it was slapped on a bodykit penned by a Californian company called Five Axis, giving it an aggressive wide-body look. But looks are all the aggression the 3+1 seater is going to get as under the hood is only a 93 horsepower 1.3 litre VVT-i engine driving the front wheels. But it does get TEIN Super Street coilovers and 18 inch wheels wrapped with Yokohama S.drive tyres.

almost toy like?!! like hot wheels car….
menarik tertarik memang da boommmm!
surely after this a lot of myvi owners will convert to this iQ bodykit.
mcm myvi bikin je…ade sket kot.
I dislike the colour. OK, but then 3 seats, will not make its way to malaysia anytime soon. This clearly for china or westerners with their 1 child
we always see this kind of car in event or roadshow, but why never see this kind of car available in Malaysia ? and they never sell this kind of car in Malaysia either ?? how come ???

just ask p2, why their mofo wouldn't want to market it here.
oh.. btw.. i think it's nice and good city car.
but.. the price.. surely overpriced…
ush…. tertarik aku …kaler florescent ke tu
Normally l prefer a HONDA but this iQ whether in Toyota or SCION badge doesn't matter (or even a Pero2) l really love it. A way brilliant than a Smart.
Still CUTE as ever!
This autoshow car,cant make it on the road. since big wheels, very sick on malaysia roads.
lol, reminds me about the satria neo with 18" wheels i saw earlier in KLCC carpark……
M'sia here all have big big family. So those who afford or want to drive this would be those anak kaya. Same concept as Smart for Two.
bumble-b….
1.3L driving 18inch wheel…. you must be kidding…? anyway its ok as long as its just a concept…
wait for double decker car
looks fast but doesnt run fast. guess thats all you need.
mcm bentuk ketam…nice…hehe..
Those guys who like to convert their Myvi's will love this!
I like the rims…
this is awesome….iq was really good…trd iq was even better…this is the best…haha
Nice beutiful..?! Look like the ugliest bullfrog ever. MyVi is already an ugly toad.. and this one ugly toad x 2

Second that.. and add flame paint.
man this is one cartoony car. Huge 18" wheels on a tiny 1.3litre car? I prefer something more proportional. The old Renault Clio is a good example of balance size wheels with the size of car.
I don't necessary think that big wheels means COOL looks.
this is sick laa kawan²!

Don't worry..
it's a Toyota trademark :
"Look so so and underpowered car".
They should dump 1.6 – 1.8 under the hood.
but it's ok with 1.3 if the price is below RM30K with perodua badge.
OK.. or RM20K with 850cc engine with p2 badge.
Cantik… 1.3 turbo may suitable for this car
It's also 5-star Euro NCAP rated. Nice city car.
Look underpowered car? don't think so.. maybe for this car, they have adjusted the gear ratio
it's better than smart for 2 because it has extra a seat ^^
I think the bodykits suit the car perfectly. Myvi owners can start opting for this kind of mod too.
Funny, all kind of comments by merely look at the photos!
it will be useless when u drive over speed bumps in malaysia ..
super ah beng car
myvi 2drs soupup
