Toyota will offer at least 3 dedicated hybrids in 2009

Was the 600 hybrid just a gimmick?

Recently, we learned that Toyota was going to launch a second hybrid-only brand to join the Prius in 2009. According to Reuters, Toyota will also launch a new, dedicated Lexus hybrid as well, giving the automaker 3 dedicated hybrid vehicles.

"Citing Lexus UK Director Steve Settle, the industry journal [Automotive News] said the model was expected to be priced between the 30,000 euro ($40,310) IS sedan and the 51,000 euro ($68,520) RX400h hybrid sport utility vehicle, making it the cheapest hybrid under the Lexus brand, it said."

Though Lexus RX400h is a bit pricey, I love everything about it - it's super high-tech and has all sorts of cool features such as the latest in hybrid technology and make a steady ride due its advanced Lexus steering rack. It's incredibly fast, and even when heavy on the fast-pedal, it gets over 24 mpg! Now this car is likely I call fast car...
