Bound to be the greenest car at the Tokyo Show, at least in the literal sense, Toyota's RiN concept is designed to inspire "serene, healthy living." The press release states, "Through their relationship to the vehicle, drivers are encouraged to reevaluate themselves and, furthermore, to turn their attention to society and nature, producing a healthy rhythm for both mind and body." The car itself has all manner of wellness-inducing goodies, including posture-perfect seats, an oxygen-level conditioner, a pinpoint humidifier, and a "mood-training steering wheel," whatever that is. And did we mention it's green? The exterior takes its inspiration from a variety of Japanese cypress tree called the Yakusugi.
