V interior finish and exterior detailing iare several notches above the city car norm. ; Toyota is not the first company to build and market a city car specifi--


; cally. to a more upmarket clientele. . I t was exactly this business model that Smart profited so handsomely from, and Toyota has followed suit with its Prius hybrid vehicle (not strictly a city car in the strictest def­ inition, but most certainly a car tar­ geted at wealthy urbanites). ^


' : Given that the company already has the cheap and competent Aygo on its books- backed up with the bigger, and plusher Yaris - a third tot would seem like overkill, but the iQ isa^very different proposition. If' it wore a Lexus badge, the proposi-

set for big expansion, given the rap­ idly increasing costs of using a car in many metropolitan areas. Many car buyers are looking to downsize with­ out sacrificing comfort and style and it is no secret that severaT pre­ mium manufacturers are looking to service exactly this demand. They could learn a thing or two from Toy­ ota.
