Toyota mashes Sienna minivan and Tacoma pickup into Ultimate Utility Vehicle - Gizmag

There must be something in the water supply around Toyota HQ. Maybe pure grain alcohol. As if a Lexus hoverboard wasn't enough weirdness for one week, Toyota also revealed the Ultimate Utility Vehicle, a Sienna/Tacoma hybrid that will be trekking across North America. The UUV reveal was buried in a press release about Toyota's work on a new North American headquarters in Plano, Texas, and there's really no additional information about it, save for the fact that it will travel on Toyota's 110-day, 16,500-mile... The nine-Toyota convoy has been organized to get engineers and other employees out from behind the office and factory walls and into the world, experiencing the drives that Toyota vehicles are making on a daily basis. At least that's what Toyota planned – maybe a few will enjoy the working road trip so much that they'll ditch their 9-to-5 lives for the freedoms of a VW camper van. The North American-based Ever-Better Expedition is the second leg of the Toyota's Five Continents Driving Project, following the kickoff in Australia. Source: www.gizmag.com
