2015 Toyota FCV Unveiled, Priced From $68,688 In Japan

Toyota’s first mass production fuel cell vehicle was unveiled today in Tokyo, prices from just under $70,000.

Specs and global pricing were not announced, but Toyota said the roll-out of the car would be initially limited to areas in Japan with hydrogen fueling infrastructure. A roll-out in the United States and Europe is coming in 2015.

Despite many observers taking a bearish stance on fuel cells, Toyota is all-in on hydrogen, after ditching their EV program in 2012. The question is, what do they know that we don’t that is giving them such confidence about a technology many thought was dead in the water?

    I would like this if it had more of a Buick Verano-esque rear and the new WRX engine.

    I'm all for fuel cell cars, but seriously, Toyota, learn from Tesla. Make your car a premium car and sell it on hype. This is one of the most ugly cars I have ever seen from any time period. There is no excuse for this rolling abomination.

  • Jeff It was the right decision to leave this as a concept.
  • Sayahh Was the Celica Toyota's pony car?
  • Rizzle The price is the same for a manual or automatic. If you want a manual you might want to get a 2025 or 2026 (or older) because who knows if VW will offer the manual in 27. It could be deleted just like they did for the GTI and R. It is too bad you can't get a GLI in S form without the sunroof and with a cloth interior. Same basic car but many $1000s less. Yeah, the red stripes are a bit silly, but someone at VW thinks they are cool. In the good old days they would have put on racing stripes and fake louvers and called it the GLI-X.
  • ToolGuy™ I have always resented how GM did not consult me on styling choices.
