  Toyota unveils ‘urban DIY-inspired’ U2 concept 12 Sep 2014 (News)
  But all of that is very van-like and quite bland, ultimately, so In The Name Of Love Toyota has made the driving area very futuristic and pleasant indeed. There’s an iPad dock, of course, and the minimalistic cockpit features a unique transmission selector with switches for park, drive and reverse. The large digital display and chrome detailing give the cabin a futuristic Discothéque vibe, though in our opinion The Sweetest Thing is the ability to customise the side panels.
