Auto makers of late have collaborated with some serious fashion houses, but this may be the first time one has teamed with a luxury chocolate line, Neuhaus. I am not complaining, and neither is the Toyota iQ N-Collection.
This baby comes in two delicious colorways, Cream Butter and Chocolate Brown, and features matching interiors, and special badging. Unfortunately the Toyota iQ N-Collection is completely inedible, and is sadly only available in Germany.
Implications - With the price of this spectacular chocolate mini-car only being a mere 1,700 euros for the base mode iQ, there is no reason to hesitate when purchasing a Toyota iQ. After all, who doesn't love chocolate-colored anything and everything? I can bet people are going to be lining up to purchases these cars.
