Since I love all things small car, I have to post my favourite small Toyotas:

This is the first generation Toyota Vitz, the predecessor to the Toyota Yaris! You probably know this car from Gran Turismo. I loved trotting about a track in a pink Vitz. :)

MR2-uesday? MR2-uesday...

Here is the Toyota iQ, the car designed to beat the smart! In many ways it does, and in many ways it doesn’t. It’s all subjective anyway, so it’s all debatable. :)

If you’re looking for a Yaris that’s been compacted even further, here’s your ticket. :)

And you better move fast, because the car has been discontinued worldwide...

Also known as Gen 1 Yaris everywhere else in the world.

Why couldn;t they sell the hatchback in the US? (they did sell it in Canada)

And fuck them for not selling this awesome color here!

I have a general dislike of Toyotas. However, if this were a real thing, complete with correct drivetrain...

10/10 would buy.

If I had an iQ, I’d probably do something like the first pic...make the most outrageous custom copy my brain can dream of. But I probably wouldn’t copy the GT-R...everyone’s doing that.

I’d go for silly, make it look like somehow RAM made a small car to compliment their trucks and ProMasters.

I drove an IQ and for what it was it was fucking brilliant. It was MUCH better than I expected. If you treat it as a 2 seater it is really a great small car with pretty decent cargo room with the back seats folded down.

IMO a much better car than the current Smart but things are looking real good for the next generation Smart.

500+ bhp iQ? Where do I sign the waivers telling me about the death I will most certainly experience?

Yup they sold them in Canada under the Echo name. I much prefer the Vitz name because how can you not like something that is called the Toyota Vitz?
