The small (very small) electric vehicle has close-set rear wheels, three seats and Active Lean technology for banking around street corners. It's designed to be small, maneuverable, easy to park and able to handle a lot of stop-and-go. The car, developed by Toyota Motors Europe with an assist from the company's ED2 design studio in Nice, France, is intended to bring a bit of fun to 30- to 50-year-old moms in the year 2030, while they do their kid-hauling in the small- to medium-sized suburban towns that are expected to see the bulk of population growth in Europe.
