Toyota I-tril

[Rickb]

A new Toyota urban commuter concept, the i-TRIL to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show that apparently will seat 3 and have the same active lean technology as the Toyota i-Road. It has my curious attention as an around town commuter vehicle.

Thanks to EM for showing them how much demand is there (close to 65K) for fun 3 wheelers! I also like the technology behind it and with 3 seats it'll attract more interest. Toyota has the resources so the big question is how long is the wait from concept to production... and how much?

We will know more after the Geneva Motor Show in early March. If it's based on the i-Road platform it's likely a new iteration prototype with the active lean technology.

Well, what can I say?..
- "It's positioned as an "alternative to city cars, other electric vehicles and motorcycles"
- Self-driving technology
- Leans during cornering
- Holds three... Sounds familiar...

Did anyone else catch that the narrator is a computer voice. It sounds like a text to speech that has had a few words it had to spell phonetically so the computer says it correctly.

Sounds better than some of those computer voiced sales pitches I get on the phone..

 

[wizard of ahs]

Yea, caught that right away.............and it DID sound better than some commentators

There it is, the Toyota i-TRIL. But you'll have to wait for at least a decade.
