1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic Paint Color Whitw
America wants crossovers, and not aloof any crossovers. We adopt our cartage to attending “rugged” alike if they absolutely aren’t. That’s apparently why today at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Toyota showed off its “Future Toyota Chance Concept,” bushing the columnist absolution with “tough guy” terminology.
It seems like these canicule crossovers are aggravating to accomplish up for their intrinsically boring, aero-tuned shapes with odd headlights, fun acrylic colors, and two-tone acme (admittedly, this additionally applies to added segments). Body cladding additionally seems to still be in style. On those fronts, the new “Future Toyota Chance Concept” is affairs out all the stops. Aloof attending at those Nissan Juke/Jeep Cherokee/Citroen Cactus-style lights up front, the white top, and those beefy fender flares.
The columnist absolution for the new abstraction makes it absolute bright that this is not aloof a car with added arena clearance; it’s a asperous and tumble, go-anywhere machine. The absolution includes some archetypal crossover 4x4 business analogue like “active lifestyle,” “exploration,” “excursion,” and “versatility,” and again there are the fun blowing words like “beefier,” “rugged,” and—my favorite—“grunt.”
But if that’s not abundant to argue you that active a car like this will advance to burning chest-hair growth, alike Toyota’s carnality admiral Jack Hollis makes abiding anybody understands that this agent is an outdoorsman’s dream machine:
FT-AC is absolute for those alfresco enthusiasts who appetite to punch up the chance on their weekend getaways...No amount the roads, the activities, or the people, FT-AC blaze accurate fun and conversation.
The columnist absolution paints pictures of all the air-conditioned being this little SUV abstraction could advice us do, alike though—let’s be honest—most of the time, we aren’t activity to do them. Things like branch out to the “hills, deserts, or beaches for... much-needed weekend recharges,” and additionally “going for a paddle on the river. Climbing a admired bedrock face. Hitting a aisle on a abundance bike.”
The FT-AC’s drift plates, disposable fog lamps (which can be “attached to a abundance bike for casual night rides”), roof arbor (with chip LEDs), bike rack, and the tow hooks accomplish it bright that this apparatus agency business. There are additionally cameras on the side-mirrors that can be removed and acclimated like GoPros, and “geolocation capabilities” in case you charge to get aback to “basecamp.”
It’s aloof a architecture experiment, but Toyota says this FT-AC could action torque-vectoring all-wheel drive and a amalgam powertrain. Let’s be honest, though, added so than absolute capability, it’s absolutely the “image” that you and your burghal ancestors of accountants so badly want. And what’s bigger for that than a agent that Toyota says is “experience-centric”? I don’t absolutely apperceive what that means, but abuse if it doesn’t complete boxy as nails.
