The iQ will initially launch in the western region of the United States, which includes Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. Scion will follow up that December launch with a rollout to southern states in January 2012. The U.S.' eastern seaboard will gain access to the iQ in February, followed by the Mid-West in March.
Although the iQ's 37mpg highway rating is no longer eye-popping, its 36mpg city rating does make for an impressive 37mpg combined rating. Toyota says that mileage can be achieved on regular gas.
When the iQ finally does arrive at a Scion dealer near you, it will carry a starting price of $15,995, including destination. While that may seem high for a car so small, the iQ does come well-equipped, with standard kit including power side mirrors, ABS and a Pioneer sound system.
