Report: Toyota To Unveil City Car Concept In Frankfurt
Written By: Chris Paukert
From the “Men of Few Words” Dept. comes a blurb from Automotive News detailing Toyota’s plan to unveil a city car concept at the Frankfurt International Auto Show this September.
Said to be around 118-inches long, the diminutive urban runabout will have a novel 3+1 seating arrangement, with room for three adults and one child sitting behind the driver. We assume that this means that the seating will be arrayed in a diamond pattern, with the driver sitting in front and the two full-size passengers staggered behind (not unlike the McLaren F1).
AN says that this concept will spawn a production model to begin selling next summer, with pricing and positioning that will see the microcar check in below the already frugal Aygo (shown above in four-door trim).
