Toyota at the Geneva Motor Show unveiled a wild new concept car designed “for fun and freedom.” The open-top machine has no roof, doors, or rear seats. In place of the roof, Aygo for Sports has a pair of elegant but strong side hoops. Massive 17-inch rims shod with 205/45 R17 tyres and LED light clusters add to the look-at-me styling, together with a special bright Ocean Blue paint finish. Inside, the sculpted seats are finished in light blue Neoprene with beige leather inserts, with matching Neoprene detailing on the steering wheel. And to emphasise this Aygo’s beach party credentials, the floor is covered in teak in the best tradition of classic speedboats.

I’m tired of cars in that boring egg-wedge shape. Its just not that interesting. It looks kind of like a golf cart to me. Oh well. Its probably pretty sweet other than that.
Hideous! Why do most Japanese concepts look so cartoonish?!?!?!
That car is completely impractical, its only a concept, but still.
[...] Whatever “designer” came up with this concept for Toyota needs to find a new job completely opposite of design. [...]
I guess people that complain about the uglyness of the car seem to forget “audience” and “markets” as part of the creative process. Yeah…is clear it is not a SUV, but not for that is the ****iest thing arround. It is likely that “bigger is better” is dying or doomed anyway…
^^^^^ Well hooray for that.
