Toyota is bringing in cute anime girls to prove that the updated Prius is sexy, so you don’t pay those extra $1000 for the Ford Shelby’s backseat. The new Ford Shelby GT350 is considered one of the sexiest cars on the market, but can it win against Toyota’s cheer squad?
Toyota is releasing a campaign called ‘The Prius! Impossible Girls Campaign‘. It is geared toward the Japanese market and started out on Monday. The girls sport short skirts and boy shorts to represent different parts of the car. This includes the car’s hybrid battery, its exhaust heat unit, the wireless charging feature and the car’s head-up display and power control unit.
Toyota Prius! Impossible Girls Campaign Features 40 Anime Girls in Pin Up Style
Each character has a number, catchphrase and a description of the part they represent. The reason why this campaign was launched is easily explained though not as easily digested.
Toyota, like most car makers, pours blood and sweat into every part of every car. So the company decided to take things to the next level and brought in cartoon representations of them. They are all inspired from Japanese manga, which is what anime animation styles are based on. The girls are all dressed quite scandalously to inspire a sexy feel.
Is the Technology Behind the Toyota Prius Sexy?
The new 2016 Toyota Prius was first announced last year, and it features a smaller and stronger battery. It also has parking assist and a car to car communication system. The model is the freshest one out of the oven since the 2009 model, and it’s pretty important for Toyota’s profit.
The car has improved performance and fuel economy to fight back the 11.5% decrease in sales that the model suffered through 2014. Now that there are so many other hybrids in the car market, there may be no space for the once-loved Prius after all. With a smaller power control unit and lower electrical losses, the new Prius is sleeker and more spacious.
If You’re Not Into Anime But Are Still A Fan of Sexy Cars, the Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang Also Works
The Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang is a very loved car. It can be described as many things, and sexy is definitely one of them. The car goes for a pretty penny, too. Ford has just announced that you can through in some extra cash to get a backseat on the two-seat car, for $999. How’s that for a sexy ride?
The car is definitely not meant for roads but for race tracks, and the new upgrade will entice many into buying it. This is a great way for Ford to recover profit, even though the Shelby isn’t the greenest tool in the shed.
