    • Expected to be released in late 2019 as a 2020 model
    • TNGA RWD platform (same as Toyota Crown)
    • 4-door coupe design
    • Unknown whether it will remain as a 4 seater or become a 5 seater
    • The trunk-mounted hydrogen tank may be rearranged and placed along the centre tunnel. The smaller tank will remain under the rear seat. This layout will be common with RWD FCEVs (so...2020 LS FCV?)
    • Cruising range may increase
    • Quality of materials may be a bit worse if Toyota chooses to reduce the cost of the vehicle's MSRP

    Does that mean it will be RWD? with the motor mounted in the rear possible?
    Or still FWD and using the RWD platform for the tunnel to place the tanks?
