    Interesting that they are reportedly going to use paddleshift as well.

    If the MPG were comparable, it'd make a cool daily commute vehicle if my other car was a Sienna or Estima Hybrid.

    This does not seem to be in line with Mr. Toyoda's wishes to return to basics.

    Honda are intending to bring out a sporty coupe version of the Insight so it wouldnt surprise me if Toyota responded to that. In theory the car should be lighter and so actually be able to give better fuel economy. Who knows? There were some reports last year that Toyota would develop other Prius based models including a coupe and station wagon.

    This is what America needs. A small sports car hybrid that is fun to drive. (not that the Prius is lacking)

    I think Americans would respond to this type of product very well.

    I sure hope they make these.

    4.7l-100km i read.... less then the current and new prius.
    for a smaller car.

    more based on performance....

    Still very good for a performance car, but I'm not so hot on the look, I prefer the 2000 model.

    if it could compete with the tesla(right).

    I like the body actually, looks pretty slick. MPG would be at least over 50 seeing how this is a ways off and by then the prius will be getting much better mpg after 2010 with the phev.

    130MPH +50MPG sign me up

    The car looks cooler than a Tesle, and alot cheaper too!!! I'd pay the estimated $33,000 for one of these rather than the $110,000 for a Tesla Roadster.

    Let's not talk down another innovative car.
    If you like the MR2/Prius Coupe then say so, but there is no need to talk down the Tesla.

    I did not say anything negative about the Tesla, my "opinion" is I like the look of the "Possible" Prius Coupe rather than the Tesla and the fact is the coupe would be much cheaper than the Tesle Roadster.
    No "Down Talking" here. Just my opinion and facts.
