The Toyota F3R Concept is a perfect blend of space, style and environment-friendly performance. It makes an impressive debut at the North American International Automobile Show in Detroit on January 9, reflecting a unique combination of "box" and "wedge" design concepts. This creative and sporty solution looks to revive the declining minivan market, which has been on a steady decrease since a high of 900,000 new buyers in 1994 to 500,000 in 2005. Considering this, John Simmons, the national manager of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A.'s Advanced Product Strategy team, stated that the segment is growing more slowly than other automotive segments and the median age of minivan buyers is a whopping 51.
In spite of the negative stereotypes associated with minivans, the F3R promises to be an extraordinary vehicle. Kevin Hunter, Vice President of Calty Design Research Inc., which designed the F3R, believes it expands the boundaries of its type with an expressive design and an urge to drive, not just the need for functionality. Combining convenience, efficiency and stylishness, the F3R Concept promises an extraordinary ride.
