And if you were wondering a little bit more about the concept's name, it pays
tribute to the interior and exterior designer, Akino Tsuchiya, a 37-year-old native to Japan, who penned it. While a Japanese stylist designed the car specifically for a Japanese motor show, work on the car was centralized at DaimlerChrysler's Pacifica Advanced Design Centre, located in Carlsbad, California.
Tokyo has previously brought out some unseen sides of DaimlerChrysler; at the last event Jeep unveiled the rather odd Treo, a mind-bending exercise of styling that knocked traditional Jeep enthusiasts right off their feet. While there's no official intent to produce such vehicles, from the new "port-a-home" to the winged, electrically-powered three-seat off-roader, DaimlerChrysler is establishing a specialty-catered, off-beat presence in Asia, and with concepts like these, their intent definitely won't go unnoticed.
