2008 Detroit Auto Show: Toyota A-BAT Concept by Inside Line

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/autoshows/detroit/2008/toyotaabatconcept.html

Toyota thinks it has identified yet another underserved segment of truck buyers. These individuals have such a unique lifestyle that not one of the 355 models currently on sale in the U.S. is capable of satisfying their needs. For those select few, Toyota has created the A-BAT concept.

"We've taken Toyota's truck heritage to a different level by envisioning a vehicle capable of maneuvering the suburbs as well as dirt roads," says Kevin Hunter, president of Calty Design Research Inc., Toyota's Southern California design studio.

I stopped listening to edmunds after their bias IS-F review.

comparing an automatic IS-F at a dead stop to a manual S4 launched at 6000 rpms.

Worst review.
