expensive new cars: New Toyota USA

New Toyota USA

Toyota's media reception this evening, new Toyota USA President Jim Lentz revealed the company's latest concept, the A-BAT hybrid pickup. We first saw pics of the new concept a couple of weeks ago but in person it is quite a bit more striking. Given how much "small" trucks have grown over the past two decades it was quite refreshing to see such a small truck on display. The extended cab unit body design actually looks quite sharp in person and the flexibility afforded by the Chevy Avalanche like mid-gate makes it actually useful for hauling decent sized loads, as long as they aren't too heavy. With both the tailgate and mid-gate folded the A-BAT has an eight foot bed with four feet between the side walls.
