Now they've done it!!


A new car was unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt auto show this week.  Toyota introduced the new 2009 IQ, an ultra compact that seats 4 adults and now has a REAR airbag.  It measures less than 118 inches long but includes a panoramic sunroof and 17 inch wheels and rear passenger protection.  During a recent interview with News.com.au, the iQ’s chief designers Hiroki Nakajima revealed that the car features a new rear-impact airbag. “It is for rear-seat people.
