Toyota to apply iQ packaging to range

摘要

TOKYO - When Toyota Motor Corp.'s tiny iQ rolls into dealer showrooms in Japan later this month, the auto maker will be making more of a statement about future products and how they are packaged than the cutesy little car itself. Measuring only 117.5 ins. (298 cm) long, the midget car represents a major breakthrough in vehicle packaging, says chief engineer Hiroki Nakajima. Approximately 12 ins. (30 cm) longer than the 2-seat Smart Fortwo, the iQ seats four - that is four including a small child.
