A new Toyota Prius concept heading to Detroit

In addition to the alpha Prius, or Priush MPV minivan, Toyota will also bring a new Prius derivative concept.

The Prius MPV is a done deal.

Expanding the Prius family

Toyota is set to debut the larger Prius MPV at the Detroit Auto Show, but another Prius-based concept is also in the works, although further details aren’t expected until the show.

Is another sporty hybrid concept inevitable?

The Yaris hybrid is already pretty much a done deal, so bringing a Yaris hybrid concept to the show would be a little anti-climatic. Of course, this is Toyota and excitement isn’t always part of the package.

Nonetheless, Toyota has debuted other sporty hybrid concepts in the past, while stating numerous times that such a hybrid was almost assuredly inevitable.

Insideline is guessing something based off the FT-CH concept, which seems a pretty good guess, especially repackaged as a Scion. In my opinion a sporty little Scion hybrid is already overdue.
