Toyota will debut an all-new hybrid concept vehicle at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in just a few weeks. This new concept will be a dedicated hybrid model, meaning that like the Prius, it will only be offered as a hybrid. Toyota has said that it will offer hybrid versions of all of its models by 2010, but it is also working to increase its lineup of dedicated hybrids as they help to promote a strong "green identity" as a brand.
There are several rumors as to what this new model would be. The color and flat-nose front seem to indicate it may be a version of the iQ (which Toyota showed as a Scion model at last year's New York Auto Show). There is also a strong possibility that this could be the long-awaited Prius Coupe.
We'll be sure to bring you details as we get them, with full coverage of the Detroit Auto Show starting January 11th.
