Ironically and sadly, the rendering looks much better and downright fantastic relative to the abomination that we'll get here soon in the form of the new RL. JeSUS, look at the grill...even the current gen. RL looks far more coherent than this....

Ironic....neither the FORD nor the Mazda 2 are available in north america, world's largest current automotive market.....so how the hell do two fine automobiles qualify as a ''world car''...

Though I'd like to see both of these in the US, which may not happen..

Absolutely Incredible: A fantastic design inside and out, and I'm sure the engineering and driving dynamics are superb as well......Now watch as Ford absolutely mutilates the car while bringing it to the US. I'm not holding my breath....I can only hope Ford proves me wrong.

Ironic how Autoblog Green would contact Toyota regarding the Toyota Urban Cruiser, and *NOT* the iQ (which is obviously the
greener one of the two).

Having that said, I'd really like to either see the iQ hit the States...

@ Joshua "the last thing we need are more midget cars like that in North America. They aren't practical, are hard to see and don't have the power to keep up with traffic (especially on the highway)"

You're hilarious. How the hell is the iQ any less visible than a motor bike or a padestrian? If miss something as big as a freaking car--regardless of how small--on the road, take the transit. By this rationale, do europeans have super vision then...because they can see these cars on the road? As for keeping up on the highway, have you driven one to validate your comment? They're perectly fine, just slow to begin with. It's because of stubborn and resourse-hogs north americans like you who are unwilling to modify your driving styles to leave enough on the environment for the coming generations to have.

I agree...Looks dates relative to other VWs and bears too similar a striking to Caraven/T&C

THANK YOU

DUDE, EXACTLY!!!

...because the snow is first compressed, reducing the surface area of the box....and the fact that the snow boxes are stacked,

@ DAVE:

Bricks occupy much less space than a comparable amount of snow in a pile form, you idiot. I hate it when people like you nit-pick and complain rather than applause a practical and ingenious piece of technology.
