Looks cool, not much info in the article. Glass floors/footwells? Steampunk?

Watch out for that pig!

You can't say that it's cookie cutter.

from a technical geek... I like it. It's not pretty, but all it's parts are. Figure that one out...

That looks like a Baja bug that didn't come out right.

That reminds me of a golf cart.

They could mount airbags on the front bumper...... think of the gag where the guys in the shop put one in the couch and fire the unsuspecting coworker into the air when he sits down....

WHAT FUN!!!

I don't hate it. Not sure how safe it would be, but I would love for them to produce it.

My son and I were checking it out at the Detroit show. It doesn't follow anyone automotive theme or direction. Just a collection of cool engineering ideas. Different for sure.

Is that a cam style from dampener system? Neat.

A lot of it looks like your typical "style excesise" that never really gets produced in whole but I am glad to see Toyota playing with a Mid-Rear design.
I'll hold hope that maybe they will do something and launch anything Mid-Rear.
