I found these on the Toyota Japan page under "Toyota Design". It does not have the same outline an any other models that I could find. It does have the wonderful mini-window up front. Could it be a Prius brother in the form of a minivan? Here is the link: TOYOTA DESIGN
cool findings.. it does look similar to the prius.. with the small roller wheels and the window profiles hehe the inside is definitely not prius or future prius though.. no MFD.. huge gear shifter design... *shrug*
Without a doubt Toyota will be releasing a Hybrid minivan in the states soon. The minivan is already out in Japan its called an Estima. And they have a concept vehicle that looks like a futuristic lunar lander I mean Pickup truck that is supposed to come out soon its called an A-Bat.

I look forward to more hybrid choices for all kinds of needs and families - we need that! Toyota Hybrid Minivans
I really want a great hybrid drive system in the Mazda 5. That platform with Lion batteries seems perfect.
Estima is much bigger than this vehicle, in Australia it is a Tarago although I believe the Tarago is 100mm wider. This is an excellent find, however I think it might be Corolla or Yaris Wagon. Maybe something they will never make too. We shall wait and see, nice tease Toyota.
A minivan in the US would be a huge success. The only problem is they can't keep up with the battery production now. This would only add to the problem until they get the battery production problem solved. I'd gladly give up the Yukon for a minivan from Toyota. Right now, we only drive the Prius.
I would love to see the Prius design, just at a bigger size. Personally I don't need a bigger size except that I would like something designed for towing (I'm trying it soon on my Prius). I'm not a huge fan of how the traditional mini van looks, but I like the way the first picture of the frame looks.
