Realized through the vision of an ultra compact, highly space efficient, environmentally friendly vehicle that maximizes the urban lifestyle of Europe&#8217;s fashionable metropolitan dwellers.&#8221; The new Toyota iQ just measures 2,980mm in length but still has room for four with occupants sitting in a unique 3+1 arrangement.<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.livingsense.info\/auto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/toyota_iq_live_1280_18.jpg' alt='toyota_iq_live_1280_18.jpg' \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The IQ concept is designed to reflect and enhance the lifestyle of its owners. In an urban environment, people want to express themselves through dynamic and on-the-edge design, but at the same time rational factors such as size, functionality and CO_ emissions cannot be ignored. Bringing these contradictory aims together in synergy was critical to the IQ concept, and is a way of thinking we call the &#8216;J-factor&#8217;, a philosophy at the heart of all our activities,&#8221; said Wahei Hirai, Managing officer of Toyota Motor Corporation&#8217;s Design activities. In addition, this cool drive also features an 17in alloy wheels and a panoramic glass sunroof, aiming to enhance your driving experience. Besides, Toyota has committed to building a production version in European showroom by 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Japanese automobile giant, Toyota has introduced one of the smallest concept cars at Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, named as Toyota iQ.
