Looks pretty similar to the Scion xD from a few years back. I feel like Toyota really dropped the ball by giving up on that product line rather than converting it into their electric line. Scion was designed to appeal to a younger market and they are who is going to buy low cost electric cars.

Kinda just looks like a Chevy Bolt

Too bad neither of them have rabid fans like pokemon that will overlay the 3d model and try to claim they stole the design

You're probably right. It's really surprised and unimpressed me me that Toyota has taken such an anti-electric stance. They should have been ahead of the curve, but instead, they've lobbied the governments of every country to not shift to EVs. Screw those guys.
