(May 3, 2012) TORRANCE, Calif. — Scion has announced that from May 1 through July 31, buyers of a new 2012 Scion iQ will receive a PlayStation Vita (PS Vita), portable entertainment system, while supplies last. The promotion coincides with the nationwide release of the iQ, Scion’s fourth vehicle and the world’s smallest four-seater.

“Scion is very proud of the iQ’s intelligent and functional design,” said Jack Hollis, Scion Vice President. “Similar to the PS Vita, the Scion iQ comes loaded with premium technological features, has a focus on functionality, is concentrated into a suitably small package and most importantly is tons of fun."

Scion officials say they are excited to give iQ owners an entertaining way to enjoy the world’s smallest four-seater, even when they are not in the driver’s seat. Originally released March 7 as a limited-time free download to PS Vita owners, MotorStorm RC included the Scion iQ as an in-game vehicle option.

The PS Vita is equipped with a 5-inch OLED, high definition touch screen, dual analog sticks, front touchscreen and rear touch pad, two cameras, built in microphone, and combined with the best gaming content, provides an entertaining portable gaming experience.

Meeting the needs of a new trendsetting generation of urban drivers, the iQ succeeds at taking big ideas and concentrating them into a small package. The iQ is a small car that offers the functionality and comfort that drivers expect from a car twice its size. The iQ comes standard with 11 airbags and features an impressive EPA rating of 37 miles per gallon on regular unleaded gas.

The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2012 iQ is $15,265 not including a destination fee of $730.
