Toyota Envisions “Wall-E” As A Car

Typically concept cars must retain some link to reality—a subtle hint at a future design language; an innovative powertrain or technology; maybe a preview of an upcoming new model. Toyota’s new Kikai, revealed ahead of its Tokyo motor show debut, is not one of these cars.

And that’s why we love it.

There’s nothing relevant about this concept. You’ll never see one on the road, nor exposed suspension components in the next Camry or a dial in the cabin with an inexplicable pig on it. The Kikai is, well, Wall-E, if he morphed from robot into car.
