Toyota is losing no time in pushing out its aftermarket proposals for the all-new Aqua hybrid that will be marketed as the Prius C in markets outside of Japan and which will make its North American debut at the forthcoming Detroit Motor Show in January.
On the same day that the regular Aqua went on sale in its home market, Toyota's TRD racing and performance division announced a slew of tuning upgrades for the sub-compact hatchback.
Starting with the exterior package, TRD's offerings include a new front apron with additional air vents and optional LED daytime running lights, matching side skirts, a roof spoiler, and a rear apron that incorporates a diffuser in a matte black finish.
For the interior, there's a new TRD push-button start while performance mods are limited -for the time being- to a sports exhaust system with a pair of chrome tailpipes, larger alloy wheels and a suspension package with new springs and shock absorbers that lower the car's ride height.
TRD said that it will release more styling accessories and performance mods in the near future.

What will happen to the TRD's, Mugens, Nismos, Mopars when all that's left are electrics?
Sad performance upgrades. Where did the awesome and built Toyotas go? Pre-cooked rice is all this is. I have some hope for the FR-S, but with this TRD just dropped a notch in my mind.
BACK IN THE DAYS TRD MADE A NAME WHEN IT CAME TO PERFROMANCE BUT NOW THE PERFORMANCE PACKAGE DOESN'T DO JUSTICE. IT'S LIKE THE POWER IS GONE ECO FRIENDLY. COME ON, EVEN MY KIDS STANDARD CAR CAN PERFORM BETA THAN THAT.........
