Default New From Paris - Toyota Pics!
The Toyota dealer on the Champs De Leese was a popular place today. We just landed and this Toyota hybrid was getting more attention and pictures than the Arc De Triumph up the street. Sweet.

Here's a front view through the store window. (That is my 16 yo daughter in front, so mind your manners). We couldn't sit inside, as the vehicle was cordoned off. You wouldn't believe the jockying for pics

Last and definitely least, here is a tiny car that appeared to be new. I think this is similar to the one they are thinking of trying out here. Wasn't Europe full of these maybe 25 years ago? The cars we are seeing here on the road are not really very small.

I love the new HS-FT. Especially the way the top goes down.

So, how is the Paris vacation?

I hope you're having a great time. Funny how Toyota is a tourist destination...

To me it looks more like something you'd see in the Back To The Future movie series. It would've been very cool in the 80's and 90's, but now looks like "cheasy futuristic", for lack of a better term.
