    Makes you wonder what a 4cyl IS250-like car would get, even without the hybrid. Probably above 30...

    I would like an IS hybrid. I had a IS250 which delivered 26 mpg. It was a great car, but not a very spacious car. I love the room that I have in the Prius.

    Heck, use the 2.5 litre V6 with HSD. It'll be quite fuel efficient (it is a small v6 after all)

    I suspect 50 mpg or so is close to what you are going to get with any hybrid coming out the next couple of years. The current Prius is probably as fuel efficient an ICE/battery car is going to get. The next quantum step will be a complete (or near complete) battery car.

    you dont need it... with FWD based vehicle, you get more space, its less expensive, more efficient... as original said, they are working hard to get to 40 mpg with 4cly...

    true but if they ever one want ES350h, the 3GR works fine but it seems they want an ES450h.

    My bet is the brandnew 2.5L 2AR-FE I4 engine is more efficient than the 2.5L 4GR-FSE V6.

    Probably and with decent power if they direct injection it. (179hp without on the RAV4). I think it's just a stigma thing that you can't have anything smaller than a V6 but I do think some Lexus folks are rooting for a 4 cylinder hybrid.

    i dont think there will be direct injection in AR engines - Valvematic version have more power and economy than previous AZ with direct injection, so I am pretty sure they will be using Valvematic instead of D4 in the future for 4cly engines...

    The information I've seen, it that the model is to be named the HS250h.

    Does HS stand for Hybrid Sedan or Hybrid System?

    Good point. I assumed sedan. Guess it was a bad assumption.

    Yeah, I'm not for sure if its for sedan or system. I thought that the HS250h sounds redundant, but I guess I'm not in charge of those decisions. ;)

    Why do we assume that the H in HS means "Hybrid".

    You have ES, GS, IS, and LS - all sedans - all "different form factor"

    You have SC - a coupe

    You have GX, LX, RX - all SUV's

    So.. the HS will be a sedan - aka 4 doors.

    My bet - a station wagon-esque hybrid utility sedan.

    4 doors + a rear hatch.;)

    What else would the H be?

    ES - Executive Sedan
    IS - Intelligent Sport
    GS - GranSport
    LS - Luxury Sedan


    You're speculating it'll be along the lines of an IS300 SportCross? Would it work again this time around?
