I'll be honest. For a long time I've been hoping
beyond hope that somehow Toyota would find a way to
integrate lithium into the third generation Toyota
Prius, or at least into some Toyota hybrid car,
but it just isn't going to happen for a few more
years.
Still, the latest third
generation Toyota Prius rumors indicate that the
next Toyota Prius will be a little bigger than the
current Toyota Prius, a good bit quicker, especially
off-the-line, and about 10 to 20 percent more fuel
efficient.
Sure, this isn't the revolutionary lithium hybrid that
some fans - including this writer - had hoped for, but
if Toyota can offer these improvements at the same
price as the current generation, I'm a buyer. Plus,
inevitably it seems, lithium will eventually power the
3rd generation Hybrid Synergy Drive.
Nonetheless, I can still hope that Toyota might also
offer a Prius-derivative next year, especially a
smaller, city Prius - that could easily temper my
lithium disappointment, for now.
