Who plans on trading for a 2012? (Liftback)

Shame they are going to a radical new design. One of the enduring features that I really love about the car is the center mount speedometer. I really struggle with buying a new car. I would love to get a Toyota FJ or a Tundra, but I am so cheap, I would drive it a week and then trade in back in for another Yaris or Prius for the gas mileage. With gas going over 3 bucks a gallon, the Yaris just keeps on proving to be a wonderful transportation choice.

One car that I am very interested in is the IQ. It gets even better mileage than the Yaris and I love the mini cars. If it is just as roomy as the Yaris, that might make me get one.

Since I drive 99 per cent of the time alone, I am only concerned with the roominess of the front seats. As for mileage, I have heard....heard mind you...it gets around 60 MPG highway....which is a winner for my purposes.

not to burst bubbles but I highly doubt the USDM version will get that. I might be wrong but I have this feeling no. Just because they will tune it more for the U.S. So power vs mpg. Yes it will no doubt get good mileage but highly doubt that high for the U.S. spec. Sorta like the Smart, they compromised for more power for the U.S. version, hence why it doesn't get as good as people expected for a such a small car with a small engine.
