blogentry-114362-0-29166500-1412761824_thumb.jpgToyota has revealed a radical high-riding sports coupe concept ahead of its official unveiling at the Paris motor show next week.

The Japanese brand has released two images but limited details of its C-HR concept, a car that is said to preview a new compact SUV destined for production.

It says the C-HR's soft overall form is contrasted by definitive crease lines "to represent the faceted surfaces of a highly-durable, precision-cut gemstone".

Only three basic dimensions of the two-door vehicle are specified: a length of 4350mm, a width of 1500mm and height of 2640mm. This suggests that this future SUV will be smaller than the current Toyota RAV4.

Toyota being Toyota, I doubt it is going to look anything like the concept.. That shade of blue would look great on a 86 though!

Ht of 2640mm? Cannot be. It's a high riding coupe, not a lorry.

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
