Toyota iQ Becomes Google Street View Car in Belgium

Usually, the job of Google Street View camera car is left to the Opel Astra in Europe, but other models including Chevrolets were involved. However, when the going got tough, they sent out motorbikes to map really small roads that were otherwise inaccessible to motoring.
Not so in Belgium, where technicians bringing the world to your internet browser found that the Toyota iQ was small enough. You might know this car as the Scion iQ, or as the Aston Martin Cygnet if you have way too much money and bought a citycar.

As the story goes, Toyota jumped to the rescue as Google still had smaller roads in Belgium that it could not map out. No incidents of streaking of people dressed as unicorns were reported!
