New York 2015: 2016 Scion IA Revealed
With its angry looks and compact size, the Mazda-based 2016 Scion iA made its world debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show.
Power for the compact sedan comes from a 1.5-liter four putting all 106 horses to the front through either a six-speed manual or automatic. Fuel economy figures come to 33 mpg in the city, 42 mpg on the highway, and 37 mpg combined. A rigid steering mount for more direct input to the driver, MacPherson struts, torsion beam rear suspension, and progressive braking keep the 16-inch alloys in control.
Other features include: Display Audio connected-vehicle system with rear camera; low-speed pre-collision with laser sensor; optional GPS and voice-recognition; and push-button start.
Price of admission begins at around $16,000 for the “mono-trim” Scion iA.

Leave it to Toyota designers to ruin a Mazda design.
What is it with manufacturers? They now make the ugliest front ends I've seen ever! They make the Aztec look kind of nice.
