It was only a mat­ter of time before the new gen­er­a­tion of Japan­ese hybrid cars found their way into the tun­ing and styling shops of the world. I give you the Tommy Kaira Prius and Insight, from the leg­endary shop that gave us the Tommy Kaira  M20B WRX STI, Z33 and ZZ.

[Ed: I’d say it’s a def­i­nite improve­ment, but I also have to ask why. Tommy Kaira is bet­ter known for sports and per­for­mance car makeovers and tun­ing. Times are tough with the drought in per­for­mance cars from Japan­ese carmakers ]
