Hybrid developments at the Geneva Auto Show

Hybrid rumors and more

The Geneva Auto Show opens March 8th to the general public, but media days begin on the 6th and there are already some interesting hybrid developments. The biggest hybrid premiere at the Geneva Auto Show is the Honda Hybrid Sport Concept, at least according to publicly announced premieres. This new hybrid car from Honda will be a compact hybrid sports car, but few other details have been released. Also, there are rumors that the Kia Rio hybrid will also be displayed at the Geneva Auto Show. Additionally, according to AutoWeek, "Toyota will introduce a hybrid concept, the Hybrid X. The concept previews a new design language for hybrids while also acting as a technology showcase."

The Toyota hybrid concept sounds an awful lot like the FT-HS hybrid concept. Has the name changed? Is there an even newer, more interesting hybrid development coming from Toyota?

While I'm excited about Honda's hybrid reveal, it is Toyota's hybrid which is most intriguing. Is the king of hybrid cars prepared to up the hybrid ante? We'll find out soon.
