Small Toyota hybrid
cars are coming.
Akihiko Otsuka, chief engineer of the redesigned,
third-generation Toyota Prius stated,
""We are developing a low-priced hybrid
vehicles like Honda's
Insight. We are going to compete by expanding our
hybrid-vehicle lineup to smaller hybrids, in the class
of the Vitz [sold in Japan] and Yaris.".
Likewise, Otsuka noted that the current Prius will now
share a great number of parts with the Toyota Auris
while confirming that the Auris - the Corolla platform
in the US - was designed so that it could carry a
hybrid system.
Cheap hybrid vehicles are on the way! Unfortunately,
don't expect any of these new hybrids until at least
2011.
