2010 Toyota FT-CH Hybrid Concept

The 2010 Toyota FT-CH Hybrid Concept is a car "compact hybrid" to proliferate its hybrid lineup with additional conventional gas-electric models even as it explores plug-ins and hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Toyota also characterizes the FT-CH as having an “imaginative sense of style,” specifically within its playful, retro-futuristic Buck Rogers–style white and black interior, said to be designed with the “8-bit generation”. The FT-CH is an intriguing piece of design work with a stout road stance, hood-mounted headlamps, and taillights embedded in the back glass. It goes a bit heavy on the hexagons but looks cool anyway, especially in the rear three-quarter view. And it’s a concept that can best be defined by comparing it with the mid-size class Prius.
