Would you like fries with that? Some pretty reputable news sources are running with a story that Toyota will be releasing a super-sized Prius by the end of 2010. The Prius XL will be in the form of a wagon or small SUV - probably similar to the size of what the RAV4 used to be. The Prius XL will also be the first hybrid that Toyota produces with a lithium-ion battery pack in place of the NiMH pack used in the 2010 (and previous) Prius.
There are also rumors out there that Toyota could be leveraging their partial ownership of Subaru to create a Outback-sized Prius.
Whatever ends up happening, with the Sai hybrid most likely soon joining the Prius family and this larger Prius coming, the next year or two should be very exciting for Prius and hybrid fans.
