Toyota is having an IDOLM@STER event this February 11 to March 31.  Individuals can call ahead to the Toyota Amlux Showroom in the Ikebukuro Ward to reserve a test drive in the car above or two other IDOLM@STER deco’ed cars.  For 1,000 yen, or roughly $13.00 one can rent a 60 minute test drive of a Prius, Ractis or Wish vehicle and have fun driving around.  It’s a unique way to make some money for Toyota and let fans have some fun for an hour at a fairly reasonable price.
