TOKYO - November 29, 2011: Toyota and Lexus presented their joint 2011 Tokyo Motor Show Press Conference LIVE on the Internet tonight at 9:30PM New York time (6:30PM Los Angeles time). The complete press conference was seen right here at TheAutoChannel.com. A complete archived version of the presentations will be available shortly.

Toyota featured several concept cars to highlight its Toyota-brand exhibit at the 42nd Tokyo Motor Show. The concepts aim to make fresh proposals concerning the dream and joy of motor vehicles under the concept "Fun to Drive, Again."*1. The show, under the theme "Mobility can change the world", will be held from November 30 through December 11*2 at Tokyo Big Sight in Koto Ward, Tokyo.

The Toyota-brand display will include a concept car that heralds a future where people, cars, and society are linked, as well as a compact rear-wheel-drive sports vehicle that reaffirms the joy of driving and the pleasure of motor vehicle ownership. Also planned for display are a diverse selection of next-generation eco-cars including a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHV), which represents the technology TMC considers best suited for widespread use to effectively meet CO2 emissions restrictions and the diversification of energy.
