Heard about this iR being a new City Car for the brand, something to potentially be the iQ's successor. My needs for a vehicle are basic enough that my current vehicle, a 99 Civic EK Hatchback, is more than enough.

Always wanted a compact along the lines of a SmartCar or iQ, never liked the iQ and was discouraged from getting a SmartCar... iR could be it, especially with what I've been seeing of Scion recently.

How compact are you hoping the Scion iR will be?
Both the iQ and the smartcar are tiny compared to the rendering in the banner.

 

[CityWok]

The Scion iR won't be that size. It's compact but more like the size of the Toyota Aygo probably.

Still not far off but the iQ helps to create a good frame of reference, good for those that aren't entirely sure about these compacts. Not every day that you see them on the road... for now.

The iQ is about the smallest that cars come so saying something is bigger than it doesn't really say much in my opinion.

 

[SiR]

Again it comes back to a reference point and that's what it is in the city car game, it's one of the few that people are familiar with.

 

[Guy]

The Golf and the Juke are other cars that are quite compact but a little bigger than the iQ.

 

[SiR]

That's a bit overboard but I was thinking in terms of the Mazda 2 hatch and Toyota Aygo, the next step up.

 

[Guy]

Would you consider the CX3 from Mazda?

 

[SiR]

Why? I want a compact, that's levels above what I want and need.

It's not that big and it is still quite affordable. Are there any other models that you are considering?

I personally like the scioniR. It has the sporty look to it too and compact for a daily commute.

What was discouraging you from getting the other ones?

But the Scion iR isn't even out yet, no concept or anything of what will be the iR. Unless you know of something I don't

 

[Guy]

Well it won't be a Scion, it will be a Toyota. We do know what it will look like though.

 

[SiR]

Fortunately we're seeing it in that picture as a Toyota, which does help in taking away all the Scion things about a design, almost no need here to guess what a Toyota version will look like, we're seeing it here.

All i'd want to see more of at this point is it in different colors, darker colors.

That is the Toyota version, and the version that will be sold, and it is no different from the Scion version other than the badge.

The concept was shown with both Toyota and Scion badges; the production model only with Toyota, but there is no difference in design that has to do with the badge.

 

[SiR]

Well now there will only be a Toyota version, maybe a Lexus version but no Scion version since Scion is heading to the chopping block. Being a vehicle not out yet they won't bring it under Scion for the remaining 6-months or whatever they have left, won't make sense.

 

[AllanDen]

You wont be disapointed! They're great for commuting around town.

 

[TubeMan]

If you're talking about Scion in general, yes their models are generally pretty good for commuting the old hatchback they had was pretty nice too. Just too low to the ground for my tastes.

They aren't much lower than your average vehicle in that segment and overall they made vehicles that ride at a similar height to most compact and small cars.
