Word on The Internets is that the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/scion iq">Scion iQ</a> won't be hitting our shores anytime soon. The pint-sized hatch was originally supposed to arrive here in the United States by March of this year, but GreenCarReports.com has indicated that the city car may not arrive until sometime this summer. The move is thought to be as much about production delays as marketing. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/scion">Scion</a> has said that it wanted to give the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/tc">2011 tC</a> enough time to have the company's stage all to itself without having the limelight stolen away by its newest sibling.<br />
<br />
At the same time, the company said that the first prototypes from Japan were a few months late in arriving and that the delay pushed back the production schedule. Whatever the hold up, buyers clamoring for a competitor to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/fortwo">Smart ForTwo</a> will have to wait a few more months for the pleasure of grabbing the keys to a Scion iQ. As of this writing, there's no telling whether the car will show up as a 2011 model as first thought or whether it will be labeled a 2012 when it finally shows up.<br />
