iQ = 15,995 with dest charge
Fiat 500 = 16,000 with dest charge
Mazda 2 = 14975 with dest charge
Additionally, if the iQ comes with a CVT automatic transmission standard as Autoblog reports, a comparable Fiat 500 would start at $17,000 and a Mazda 2 at $15,775.
Not that this makes TCL points any less valid, just that inaccurate reporting bugs me.
