No, a Scuderia or a Hog is cool. This is just a car. Bah, I'm waiting for the Lexus rebadged Prius. The interior will feature soft baby seal leather seats and African rhino ivory inserts. They'll call it the Priapism Comment by global_lightning, posted on February4 at 8:16 pm “This L—s based Prius is gonna be cool.”

We're at the point now where every manufacturer is picking their poison with what they choose to market as a hybrid. The good part- or bad depending on your perspective- is there are still a lot of niches to be filled. All I can say is I truly hope the novelty has worn off enough for Toyota/Lexus to start making their bread and butter hybrids look like real cars and not something out of Woody Allen's 'Sleeper'.

It probably will start selling in Europe next year. I don't know if it is being sold now, I was under impression that hybrid was for US consumption.

While, for example, both Ford and GM has recalled over 180,000 in 2008. murderedout, interestingly enough, Toyota hasn’t (to my knowledge) recalled a single car this year.

You know Toyota will pull out all the stops to stay in front of GM's VOLT development. I predict this version will be a “plug-in” hybrid or would have the ability to be modified to have that ability.
