Toyota's New Hybrid Pickup

All I can say is that I hope it's not the next Prius going 50 in the fast lane.
To say the most about it from me, I don't like it at all. It looks horrible IMO and apparently the class of vehicle is a Truck-Car Hybrid

Let me show you the Toyota A-BAT...

Another grocery-getter, like the honda ridgeline. It will make it to production to bolster the toyo pickup fuel mileage average.

And yeah, when I drive past hybrids they always give me a mean look. I wish I had one of those sun shades that I could roll down on the passenger side window that says "12 MPG, deal with it."

I read an article about this somewhere recently. It may have been in car and driver mag. From what I remember it is really small. Smaller than the Tacoma and possibly built on the RAV 4 frame. To me it resembles the Honda Ridgeline; which is uglier than sin, but has some pretty neat features. There's plenty of little preppies out there that would love to own a truck but ALGORE's global warming threats keep them from buying one. This is perfect for the bleeding heart liberals!
