Role Reversal at the LA Auto Show: GM and Toyota
No new hybrids from Toyota?Today, at GM's press release, fuel economy ruled. The Tahoe hybrid, the Malibu hybrid, the Silverado hybrid, and the Chevy Equinox fuel cell vehicle dominated the show.
At, Toyota's press release, the Sequoia ruled. Sure, Toyota also showed their fuel cell vehicle, which is a hybrid, but a fuel cell hybrid. Where was a new Prius, a next-generation hybrid?
Not at the LA Auto Show. Last year it was trucks that Toyota focused on. This year it was a large SUV.

The FCHV is a hybrid. i.e Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle.
Which is what I called it the article, but it's not a new hybrid. More important, Toyota is the market leader in hybrid technology, a new hybrid development could have put some real distance between Toyota and every other automaker. A third-generation hybrid, for example, would have easily been the hit of the show. Instead, Toyota displayed a large SUV.
