Toyota planning new compact sports car based on iQ

Yes! It is true! The era of compact sports cars is almost here! The latest reports from the Japan’s Best Car Magazine indicate that Toyota is planning a new vehicle based on the iQ city car which will make its debut next year.

According to our sources the upcoming car will be fun to drive and will carry a 1.3-liter gasoline engine, which in our opinion, will be more than enough to enjoy the small convertible. The new car will come with a price tag of $20,300 (2 million Yen). But this is not the only good news we have: Honda is also planning a successor for the old Beat! Now we have to wait and see the response from Mazda!

Wheelbase looks pretty close to each other for a sports car. The car in the picture remonds me of a Bobcat skid steer loader.

Didn't Toyota have the MR2 for awhile, That was pretty compact.

Don't they also have the tC currently as well? From my vantage point the compact sporty car has been around for awhile.

Can anyone say Mini Cooper S.
