With all this mini-car craze that is starting to rise in the US, it couldn't have come at a better time for Toyota. At this year's Frankfurt International Autoshow this September, Toyota will unveil a new minicar, sized similarly to the minicar icon Smart Fortwo, which is aimed at European markets. Automotive News Europe reports that the car should go on sale in Europe by the middle of 2008.
Toyota showcased many minicars in Europe, such as the Aygo subcompact and the Yaris. Both of them proved successful by the numbers. The Endo Concept (pictured above), shown in 2005, was Toyota's one of many concept cars that displayed super efficiency for urban living, especially in congested cities.
There were no reports regarding a US release. Nonetheless, there is no saying that there is no possibility of it arriving into our shores, especially with the rising concern of fuel efficiency these days.
