Another hybrid car? Maybe not.
Another hybrid car? Maybe not. Toyota has announced that the new Prius will be powered not by a four-cylinder hybrid powertrain but by V6 engine and conventional automatic transmission!
"The Prius V6 bestows the same 'green chic' while delivering the performance and acceleration of a conventional mid-size sedan.", says a Toyota spokesperson.
In place of the HYBRID badge, the new Prius V6 will brag the new HY6RID badge-- which stands for "High-performance 6-cylinder Racing Inspired Design". "Now that's a better way of saying it", reckons my Autopartswarehouse buddies.
