Default The stunning 2021 Toyota Mirai...

Wow, this could be a game changer. Of course, absolutely ANYTHING would be better than the current model. But it looks like Toyota took it to a level not expected.

Looks like they re-skinned an LS, not a bad thing, mind.

Wow. Very stunning!!!

Something tells me this was a Lexus originally, changed over to a Toyota.

Looks like a Lexus sedan now (or should I say 4-door coupe?), with a slightly different spindle grille.

Toyota is getting smart.

Only way people will buy EVs and/or FCEVs is because they desire them, not because they are econoboxes.

  • Conceived as a car people will want to own because of its performance and looks, not just because it is an FCEV

exactly... and it easily has the best designed Toyota interior, ever.

You mean those of us who don't have access to compressed (20,000 PSI) hydrogen refill-outlets?

Yup! Car is beautiful, which is not what I would say about most of the Toyota lineup.

I don't like the shape of the rear door.

move the rear wheel back more with longer wheelbase, and give it a hatchback, and I'd buy one.

I like the low belt line though. Makes the rear wheel look large. Unlike the upward sloping belt lines of cars like the CT4, which makes the rear wheel look small.

Love the gold trim. Would still like to see a major upgrade in interior ambiance in the industry as a whole.
