More pictures added 10/12/07.

This is a run-down of what we should expect to see at the Tokyo Motor show, which runs from October 26th to November 11th in London, England...uh, Tokyo, Japan.

Daihatsu

Mud Master-C: For mountain bikers who don't want to get their bikes dirty.


Lexus

LF-Xh: Hybrid SUV. That's all.

Honda

Puyo: A silicon car. Which makes it fake, right?


CR-Z: Hybrid sports car supposedly being used for a production vehicle at some point.

Nissan

NV2000: Customizable van-ish vehicle. Office on wheels, locker room on wheels, editing studio on wheels... Hey, Nissan, I want this vehicle. What are the odds of getting one?


GT-R: Not just a concept, look for it in dealerships this year.


PIVO 2: Mood ring on wheels + nagging wife.


Intima: Swiveling passenger seat for easy car access is supposed to target men, actually targets my grandmother.


Round Box: Oxymoron. Sports car slash RV. NASCAR tailgater in waiting.


Mazda

Taiki: Discussed in previous post.

Premacy Hybrid: Mini-van + rotary engine + hydrogen fuel = Yawn.



Mitsubishi

i MiEV Sport: Complicated combination of lOWer aNd UpPErCASe letters award winner. Motors are in the wheels, lithium-ion battery/electric car.

Concept-ZT: Dual clutch sedan for those with two left feet.

Suzuki

Pixy: Wheelchair on wheels. Wait....

SSC: Pixy dispencer, PEZ optional.


Subaru

Impreza WRX STI: Next-gen Impreza

Exiga: Big vehicle, glass roof. Kinda boring.

G4e: Electric car.



Toyota

i-Real: How Hulk defends his feelings in an argument with She-Hulk, or another go-round of a one-seater vehicle.

Hi-CT: A truck for the city. Possibly a competitor for the Ridgeline? With added Vitamin C for a healthy immune system? Supposedly inspired from a guerilla, so "no" to the above.



RIN: Mood ring on wheels.



1/X: Plug-in hybrid vehicle that promises to make the Prius look like a Hummer by doubling its MPG.
