The car comes equipped with chic gadgety bolt-ons, navigation concierge and series of panel to change the look of car. Many functions can also be controlled with a smartphone. However, there are few features that no other car would love to incorporate in their cars. Can you believe a car to have a human-looking hologram discussing directions and diverting driver’s attention?

Experts believe that Toyota has lost its mind by designing a car which will demean the company’s reputation. No doubt the car will get eyeballs at the auto shows and attention from the media, but we wonder how many people will actually buy such a concept car.

The Toyota Prius C Hybrid Concept was a surprise-concept at the Detroit Motor Show 2011 by the Japanese automaker. This model was developed on the same hybrid drive grounds in which the the Prius V minivan was designed. The minivan family model was the much anticipated model by everyone. However, the Toyota Prius C Hybrid Concept came as a pleasant surprise to most who was awaiting for the show.

The Prius C is a sample that prepares the users of Toyota cars and those who like the car for a new member of the Toyota eco-friendly family. This new car is facilitated with a number of futuristic technologies of the next generation. Prius is expected to make its market debut next year.

As per a release made public by Toyota, Prius C is would work as the small alternative car and would wim several hearts with its low fuel consumption technique. This model basically targets the young customers of the Japanese brand.

The Verso-S, at less than 4 meters, is the shortest car in the whole of Europe’s MPV market and the practical design, flexible interior and comfortable built makes this car a great car. Toyota has also said that it will introduce a series of upgrades to the Aygo and iQ. The iQ will get a complete revamp for its interior so as to enhance the quality, whereas the Aygo will get new colour scheme and a brand new multimedia system.

For Toyota, the Paris Auto Show will be primarily about the Hybrid Synergy Drive technology, as it will celebrate the success of the recently launched Auris HSD (built in the UK). The Auris HSD is the first full hybrid car in the C-segment. This is not all for Toyota; the list of things to celebrate for doesn’t end here. Toyota will also celebrate the success of the European Prius, which has passed the 200,000 mark. Overall we can say that this year’s Auto show in Paris seems to be all about Toyota.

The Detroit Auto Show, which kicks off next month, is expected to be used as a fitting platform for the launch a hybrid concept by Toyota Motor Corporation. Toyota is the biggest name in the world when it comes to selling gasoline-electric hybrid cars. The model will be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show and would be available only as a hybrid. This model has taken the total number of hybrids to seven which the automaker sells in the U.S. under its namesake and Lexus brands.

Prius which has the combination of an electric motor and a gasoline engine makes up for the major chunk of global hybrid sale for the company. According to Jim Hossack who is an industry analyst, the rise in the prices of gasoline may see a rapid growth in the demand of the stagnant market for the hybrid models. Toyota plans to begin the retail sale of a plug-in version of the Prius very soon which can be recharged using a household electric outlet. The mass sale of these vehicles may get delayed though because of the increasing cost of the batteries.

According to a study, the cost of the rechargeable autos may cost $18,000 more than a conventional gasoline car because of the lithium-ion batteries. Batteries are expected to get cheaper by 2030 and would go a long way in reducing the oil use and carbon pollution. Coming back to the new hybrid, the company has not revealed much information about the concept apart from the couple of teaser images.

Scheduled to be launched in 2010, Toyota Japan’s iQ will be an environment-friendly car. Designed at Toyota’s ED2 studio in southern France, this new car will start manufacturing in Japan later this year.

It will also feature ABS, traction control, standard side airbags and an antiskid system. Apart from these, Toyota Japan’s iQ will also incorporate some other upscale features like audio/navigation system with heads-up display and steering wheel controls along with a glass sunroof.

With features and shape different from its 2007 predecessor, Toyota TF108 Concept Car sports a narrow nose appealing design. Toyota in fact developed an upper wing profile to blend into the nose of this concept car but the idea was abandoned and instead went with a new design spanning the entire length over the nose, something similar to that on the McLaren Mercedes.

Retaining the twin/ zero-keel arrangement, Toyota TF108 Concept Car helps to keep disruptions to airflow underneath the nose down in a minimum way. This twin-keel design works well with the sidepods pulled in tighter at the bottom. Previously, this car model incorporated square-like radiator inlets that were less effective.

Chimneys and the t-wing located out of the sidepods are other interesting features of Toyota TF108 Concept Car. This car has been designed to provide ultimate stability with its control systems.
