Ready for some rumors? Like, totally unsubstantiated rumors? Here you go. The latest rumor this week is that Toyota is not only planning the Prius Coupe that PriusChat has been reporting for about 7 months now, but you can add a MPV (like a mini-minivan) to the list. This model would compete with the still-concept Honda Skydeck.

Would you be interested in a hybrid with the exterior of a MR2 and the interior of a Prius?  The rumor mill is heating up lately with more news of the rumored Prius coupe that I told you about back in March.  The "Prius Coupe" will carry the same 1.8 2ZR-FXE engine that the 2010 Prius has, but it will bump up the horsepower to 136 ponies.  In order to compete with the upcoming Honda CR-Z, the Prius Coupe (MR2) will be a 2+2 seating configuration.

Will the MR2 classic Toyota coupe be re-born as a Prius Coupe? Toyota executive vice president Masatami Takimoto told Auto Express at the Geneva Motor Show. “We are aware of the fondness with which the MR2 is held in the UK and Europe, and are developing a small hybrid sports car. “

We have set a tough price point (expected to be around £20,000), as it will be easier to sell if it is affordable. It has to be fun to drive, too, which means the hybrid set-up must be different to the Prius’s, with greater responsiveness.”
