In 2007, Toyota introduced the IQ at the Frankfurt Autoshow. Last month, the car went on sale in Japan. Ten days ago, it won Japan's Good Design Award. Design-wise, it is one cool automobile. Toyota is positioning it as "a concept car that challenges conventional thinking of automotive hierarchies: small yet spacious, premium yet small." Even if you don't understand Japanese, there's still plenty to oooh and ahhh about on the brand's website here.
