New lexus hybrid could come as a convertible

A Prius with a different body?

While Toyota won't offer the Prius in different variants when it launches the third gen. Prius next year, it will use the Prius as the basis for a new Lexus hybrid. Little is known about this new luxury hybrid, other than it will use the third generation Hybrid Synergy Drive found in the Prius, and that it will be outfitted with solar panels on the roof. Today, MotorTrend has a sketch of what they think the new Lexus hybrid will look like, and they are reporting that the new hybrid might also come in a convertible variant.

Wow, the readers of Motor Trend really hate the Prius! I guess they think it is smarter to send $700 billion/year overseas than drive a car that gets good better gas mileage.

You can add the editors of Edmunds to that list as well.

A Prius requires practical intelligence. Those that make their auto purchases based upon emotions and lust will never understand the Prius.
