Yes it is indeed a Toyota, but this is not enough to score the point.

The picture has the appearance of a design study, with very little detail or hardware visible.
I realize that certain details such as mirrors would be removed by the puzzlemaker in the spirit of making a better puzzle. So my question is, are we looking at a real steel/plastic/rubber car, or a facsimile (clay or 2D rendering)?

[75america]

You are looking at an 'Advanced experimental model'.  Only question that remains now is: Of what model?
Except for a badge on the front fender and some cars in the background that I removed, the photo is unaltered.

[Zerk]

I'm unable to match this car with any model familiar to me, so I must guess. Is it a Carina?

[75america]

Carina is not the name I am looking for.

Let's see if Experts know.
