I have no idea...but I thought Tada said something along the lines of no exotic materials would be used in the chassis construction to cut costs...but that might not apply to interior?? Someone feel free to chime in on that if they know.
Not sure if anyone caught this earlier (I apologize if it's a repost) but, carbon fiber bits in the interior??
What dumb comment on your end, you don’t know me.
I thought the same too, like it could be a peripheral of some sort...however, if you look closely, the carbon fiber weave is not on a horizontal axis of reflection...it is on a vertical axis of reflection. In other words, it looks like it's the tunnel side trim.Probably just the drivers phone with a carbon fiber cover
Would be cool if at the debut the complete interior is changed up and has a more driver focused interior and somewhat MKIVish... we can dream right?!?!
Is that button for the fuel filler flap?Ok, so hear me out on this possible direction Toyota may be taking here with the interior...
That carbon fiber bit, might be....MIGHT BE....the button that we all see in the FT-1 concept along the tunnel. They may have covered it with a carbon fiber blank piece to hide the opening of what may eventually be that button from the FT-1. I feel like Toyota will have the center bezel incorporated on the production car, because there is too much open space between the transmission tunnel and the center console (radio, AC controls, etc...). I think we very well may see a similar center console / dash area to the FT-1:
Looks like the fuel filler flap button. Again, I am only throwing a guess out there as I have no idea what the carbon fiber piece is for in the interior. Possibly trim, block off plate, temporary molding for the pre-production cars, etc.... I don't know. I just wish we had some more info on this damn car, it's very unusual for a car company to be so "hush-hush" about a product for long.
Our first glimpse of the blue color paint for the MKV. Look almost turquoise....hopefully will be a return of the RSP.
