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. But there are some issues with certification. It is still secret,” Nakajima explained. (read article)
So finally they have created a vehicle that surrounds us with airbag protection. Designed in the south of France, this one rivals VW, Hyundai and Renault. Toyota compares this car to a manta ray with new design concepts in the interior that include a three dimensional display that projects the gauges and readouts. The navigation and audio are on the steering wheel

I prefer to go with a car that's been proven over a number of years, than some fancy new design that has all the tongues wagging. Who wants to risk a 'new' concept car when you can buy reliability and affordability? Here in Indiana, I need peace of mind, not flashy. For those people like me who are looking for car loans Indianapolis has some options. But they key is to shop around and find the best deal you can!
