If it has half the reliability of the ICE version.....it'll be a great hit.

Nothing but a concept at thus point....

Knowing how much effort Toyota has put into EVs lately, I'd say this'll be available in 2028

It’s cool, but definitely not an off road vehicle. Sits low and has those tiny wheels/ tires. It looks like it’s half the size of an FJ Cruiser. I also read a comment from Toyota saying it was designed more for ”young city dwellers” who like to be “outdoorsy” on the weekends.

So basically the same target audience as the R1T and R1S other than replacing "city dwellers" with "suburbanites"

Why does Toyota do this to their cars? It's almost as if they are trying to make them ugly! I almost went to work for Toyota years ago. They asked for 3 years in Vegas and then would let me go to Torrance. Even though it was a finance position, they agreed to let me run a full EV sports car division (my idea). They thought it was funny that that was what I asked for as part of the deal. Probably thought EVs were going to be a niche project. The wife nixed the whole thing because she hated Vegas.

Toyota taking the strategy to prove that no one wants to buy EV's by designing the worst looking EVs.

Haha. Don't think I could get her to move from Dallas. I would have loved to go to work for someone like Rivian but I'm not an engineer despite what Toyota was smoking during that job offer. Wonder what other fantasies they would have said yes to? Lol.

Dear god it's hideous.

I always wondered why Toyota never took the Prius and expanded on the success. They could have gone full EV decades ago. I believe they are working on a MR2 EV. If they can partner with Lotus or Porsche on that then it could be the beginning on something great.

Rivian also has the potential to expand into the sports car segment. Imagine a light weight car with 835HP!
