The annual Toyota Dream Car Art Contest invites children to share their ideas and creative imaginations about the future of mobility by drawing their dream cars.

The interview is by far the cutest one we have conducted. Read on to know more.

These days, I have been working on creating various models to play with. I love making different parts. Take a look at my park model below:
