New Toy?

New Toy or new Toyota - 60 mph for 50 miles but I cannot see this in American hearts; not even with big fins, wind wings, or ?

Toyota to show very futuristic FT-EV compact concept

Why does the design language of EV vehicles have to be 'odd' so it could be differentiated from conventional vehicles. Aero-efficient styling works for all types. Fisker has kept intact the passion & love of car design in his EV's. This FT-EV has only mirrored one of the worst car designs of all-time, the Fiat Multipla.

The original Denmark Mini-el in around 1989 is very aerodynamic but failed 2 or 3 times before ending up in Germany. It became the City-el sometime. Works sometimes I guess! Photo below; so get your tracing materials ready

I think Japan can fill that order- behold! - a tilting 2010 Nissan Multipla EV:
