On another note I read that this car is based on the 15th gen Crown.

I read that the mirai started off as the next gen Lexus GS project before that car was dropped completely, and then this just got repurposed as a Toyota Mirai.

There are some Lexus cues in it (Especially the instrument binnacle area...looks straight out of Lexus) and the fact that the Mirai started off as an oddball looking FWD stretched Prius tank and all of a sudden did a complete 180 on a RWD platform with proper RWD size and proportions and relatively good looks makes that rumor believable.

They wont sell a ton of these because you need a hydrogen station infrastructure to even consider one. And that's only found in some parts of California and i think only in Quebec here in Canada.
