Oftentimes, the way a car is presented in the press release is totally different o what it actually looks like in real life. You can blame Photoshop and cheap trim for that! But the new 2014 Toyota Aqua G's is not like that at all. In fact, it doesn't look at all like a tuning project, which it actually is to some extent.
In case you guys didn't know this, "Aqua" is what Toyota calls the Prius c in Japan. There, it's a stand-alone model and not a Prius, but even so it managed to be the third best selling car on the market in 2013.
Early last year, the Japanese automaker announced it would offer its Japanese customers more individuality through the G's body kit. To get it, you don't have to do anything, just turn up at the dealership and order it. Toyota themselves will fit sports suspension, large alloys, side skirts and a lot more.
As you can see from this walkaround video, the front end desperately wants your attention, with large chromed surfaces and a gaping grille. The interior is also very cool, much better than Yaris or Prius c models offered overseas.
So what do you guys think, should Toyota start offering the G's body kit in America or Europe? We think it looks fantastic and they should… for the right price of course.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
