    Dear Prius Experts,

    I have been a regular reader of priuschat although I haven't had a chance to contribute until now. I have owned a Prius Gen3 T3 (UK) since 2009 and I have to admit, I love this car.

    So what do you all think of the NS4 concept, I feel we must gather up some support for the design so that there is a better chance it will make it into production. Actually, I am anticipating quite a bit of competition in the mid-sized hybrid car marketplace by 2014/15 which is when we can expect the next generation prius but personally, if the NS4 design makes it to production, I for one will definitely be buying one.

    Thanks

    It'll never happen. Far too stylish for Toyota UK to consider. They wouldn't know what to do with it.

    Thanks OP for starting this thread. I am a fan of the NS4 Plug-in hybrid concept. I will sign up for: 25-mile EV, then 50 hybrid.

    I don't think there were many details on the ns4 concept, it was more of a connectivity trade show thing. I'd need to know details to be for or against it:)

    Oh, you can anticipate Jaguar XJR75 type hybrids to come, as it's already into production, and does make more sense, than series or parallel hybrids.
