\nAccording to the The Detroit News<\/em>, Toyota<\/a>’s upcoming hybrid concept<\/a> that will be debuted at the Detroit Auto Show<\/a> on January 11th will be a subcompact machine that’s destined for production. Citing sources familiar with the project, DN<\/em> says that the car will go into production in Japan in 2011 with U.S. sales slated for the beginning of 2012.<\/p>\n

There’s some speculation that the new model might borrow the Prius<\/a> name in an effort to capitalize on that car’s undisputed sales success. Toyota reportedly hopes to sell 150,000 subcompact hybrids per year.<\/p>\n

Finally, DN <\/em>reports that Toyota has sped up development of small cars and hybrids, including a premium compact hatchback<\/a> for its Lexus<\/a> division, as foreshadowed by the LF-Ch concept<\/a> at the Frankfurt Motor Show<\/a> in September. No word on whether the subcompact hybrid will use nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
