I was set to buy the Smart forTwo but it’s simply not available in my area yet. Now I hear about the Toyota IQ and have to say that I’m impressed with the previews. A few people mentioned pricing… Toyota has NOT said a single word about pricing. There isn’t a site that I’ve reviewed that even hints at a price.

They are planning a mere 100,000 units to start off with and may run into the same supply/demand problems the Smart forTwo is going through now. This would extend availability to another year or more for those holding off on a purchase.

In any case, knowing a bit more about both cars – I still like the Smart forTwo (version2). However, if the Toyota Aygo was available in the U.S. – this would be my small car choice (over the Yaris and the two MicroCars listed here). It’s much shorter than the Yaris but has a full car feel. The price is hard to beat… about 10k US if available here.

I really think Toyota would do better with the Aygo (pronounced ‘I Go’)than they would do with the IQ here in the states and in Canada.

I’d go with the toyota. The smart has a jerky auto trans. It is very unstable at hway speeds. It requires high octane gas and its a euro made car so its going to brake down and repairs and upkeep and parts will be high. Although toyota better not go cheap in this car like they did with the yaris and not provide US dealers with yari cars with no abs or side airbags. note: Its ipossible to find a yaris hatch with side airbags and abs. Shame on you toyota for putting your customers in grave danger. U suck.

I would choose the Toyota IQ, I like the styling better. I also here it’s cheaper and gets better gas milage?! Still though, not a fan of either

Defdinatly neither seeing how they would both be totaled in an accedent even if they were in a crash with a miata.

I’d have to pick the smart…it comes as a convertible…you can get a subwoofer/component sound system…separate bumpers from the fenders means lower repair jobs and more more more opportunity to customize. If toyota would release more info I might go in their direction tho…

I would save my money and buy a go-cart, golf-cart, or even power-wheel. Does about the same thing. It looks like a death sentence in an accident. Imagine getting hit buy an Expedition.

Stupid question….I would rather walk than drive either of these heaps.

they both look like hairy butt on a hott sweaty day where the sweat drips from ur asscrack all the way down under ur balls but ur balls are sweatin really hard therefore u got sum nasty sweaty underwear ewww mayb not that bad but i wouldnt take either of them

I don’t like either of them, I wouldn’t be caught dead driving those faggotty looking clown cars.

Ummm…. How about neither of them because they both look super gay! If I had to choose, I’d rather walk.
