I have a neighbour who own a SmartForTwo car. He is a businessman and everyone in our block know about that. But I think he still not know about this ToyotaIQ. Toyota’s new mini-car concept, the IQ, was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The ‘IQ’ prototype is just 9ft 9 inches long - about three inches shorter than the original Mini - and is expected in showrooms within two years priced between £9,000 and £10,000. It has enough room for three adults and a small child, but a sliding seat arrangement means it can be driven as a two seater with added boot space.

It was one of a series of small and ‘green’ cars on display at the show where manufacturers were anxious to display their environmental technology.

As I said, The IQ sits just 117.3 inches long, while the two-passenger smart is just under 100 inches long. Those extra inches give the IQ enough to seat three passengers plus an occasional fourth. It’s as wide as a Yaris, which means elbow room shouldn’t be at too high a premium.
