Motor Trend magazine just arrived on my doorstep today.
September 2009 issue.
On page 15, it says the Toyota iQ will be coming to North America either in late 2010 as a 2011 model or else in early 2011 as a 2012 model. The vehicle will be 1.5 inches longer and the airbags will be "recalibrated" to meet U.S. safety requirements. It also says that the "Toyota iQ" will be a "Scion iQ" in North America .
However, in 2012, Toyota has confirmed that it will begin production of an EV version of the iQ, using nickel metal hydride batteries and a goal of a 50 mile range (it's an urban/city vehicle).

On page 18, it says that VW will put Porsche's [Cayenne] hybrid system into the newly-redesigned 2011 Touareg (new photo in print magazine only - it looks good). The highest-priced model, the V8, will be replaced by a V6 Hybrid system that will put out 290hp and 310 foot-pounds, using only 3.0 liters. The V8 will be discontinued.
