Default Video review of Toyota iQ microcar

The guys at Fifth Gear have a decent review of the iQ.

I wonder if we'll ever see these in North America? They're so not North American: a small car (3+1 passengers) with a small engine (1L), very fuel efficient, too slow for the racers out there but a great commuter in my opinion.

These hypermilers used 3.3L/100km in the iQ, covering 800km on a 32L tank of gas. Pretty impressive.

Are there any other cars you would like sold in the NA market? I think the FiAT 500 is pretty nice, too.

It'll be sold as the Scion iQ.

Fiat 500 would be nice but I'd be worried about the workmanship.
A VW Polo BlueMotion would be a tough challenger to the Prius.
The Ford Mondeo
The Estima Hybrid
