Toyota Prius Wagon & Prius SUV In The Works? Green Wagon & SUV from Toyota Rumored to Release by 2012

Rumors have it that Toyota may have a Prius sports wagon or a SUV model
in the works. Apparently, ever since the new Toyota Hybrid X Concept saw
daylight at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, the car manufacturer has
considered coming up with a new Prius Wagon that would appeal to the
green minded somewhere in 2011 or 2012.
Probably serving as the base for other hybrid models, it's going to be
funny how a Toyota Prius Wagon would do in North America as the Japanese
haven't marketed anything like that before — unlike they did in
Europe for example. It's also interesting to see if the rumors that the
Lexus RX400h will be rebranded as a Prius SUV materialize, because a
green car with such a price tag … is not really sustainable from
our point of view.
What's almost sure is that Toyota is going to bundle the new models with
a regenerative brakes system, will allow for solar roof options and
could even consider plug-in versions.
For now Toyota has kept tight-lipped about the new models, but the
upcoming salons next year should bring us more info.
