The "Dear Qin" twins are purely concept cars now that will translate into production cars meant for markets even outside China. Toyota has not confirmed the markets the Dear Qin is heading to but these cars could be the challenger for the Fabia and Rapid in Europe when they are ready next year.

Toyota has designed and introduced the Etios for emerging markets and the Dear Qin could be their counterparts in Europe where expectations of fit, finish, quality, safety are higher. The Toyota Dear Qin could be bang in the middle of the Etios and Yaris in these parameters.
