Toyota working on Yaris Hybrid - Toyota Yaris Forums

This is why the US car companies have problems. Whereas Honda/Toyota have/are developing cheaper hybrid cars, the US does not. Only thing close is the upcoming electric Volt which will sell for $40,000 (unbelievable). Just think if GM had the foresight five years ago to develop a Yaris type hybrid(s) or electric for under $20,000? That car(s) would not be at market and selling very well.

Still loving the Yaris and the 42MPG (highway).

PS. My wife is in the market for a truck to replace our Baja. You cannot find a small AWD truck. Seems like all you can find are the big trucks like the Ridgeline and over $35k
