Pictures from the Motor Show
As promised! Sure, they aren't brilliant quality, but I'm sure you will all get over it.
Toyota's Future Truck Concept:
Toyota's Hiace Concept - The Sound Satellite:
(Note: DJs and Dancing Crowd do not come standard)
This not-so-little sucker from Hino (Toyota's truck subsidiary) is due to compete in the 2005 Paris-Dakar Rally:
This little baby from Toyota, dubbed the PM, is basically where they see transportation going in the future. Single-person transportation, overly colourful with all sorts of electronics, telemetrics, holographic displays and just about anything else you would see on the bridge of the Enterprise. The concept itself if a year or two old now, but due to the huge crowds that normally surround it at motor shows, this is one of the first times I have managed to take a decent picture of it.
I shall conclude this little presentation with some wonderful engrish, courtesty of Mitsubishi-Fuso. They are releasing a new range of heavy trucks called the "Super Great" range. On it's own, that name made me smile. Apply it to a dump truck, and whaddya get? Amusement, for one:
