Toyota C-HR Concept revealed as a funky urban crossover

Toyota C-HR Concept revealed as a funky urban crossover Last week we had a tease for the Toyota C-HR Concept and now, with its debut just over a week away at the Paris Motor Show, Toyota has revealed the first couple of photos.

Did they just disappear, or are they just not being insured?). But this got us thinking.
