Vehicle of the Week: Toyota PM

This week's winner is a concept car by Toyota: the PM (I think it stands for "Personal Mobility"). Cindy and I found this while on a trip to Odaiba, at the Toyota City Showcase.





The Toyota website has this to say about the PM:

"The PM is a personal mobility vehicle that 'fits like a glove' to create a feeling of unity between the driver and the vehicle. Cutting-edge vehicle-to-vehicle communications technologies are employed under the concept of "meeting, linking and hanging out together".

I'm sorry I can't provide a better look at the interior, but we were not aloud in the vehicle.





The wheel concept is very different--as you can see, there are no axles.





You have to wonder how practical it would be to own one of these. Still, you have to admit, it looks very cool. And the Toyota emblem on front, it seems somehow legitimate. Who knows? Maybe someday...

Fuel is the adrenaline of any car, truck or engine. Thus, it is every vehicle owner's wish to enhance the fuel of their car and save more of it as well. With this in mind, the most innovative fuel-saving tool in the automotive industry was conceptualized and created: the Tornado Fuel saver. An automotive air channeling tool that creates a swirling air motion, the Tornado Fuel Saver allows the air to move in a faster and more efficient way by whirling air around corners and bends. Hence, more fuel is saved.
