Toyota is following in the footsteps of big bro Lexus releasing a small teaser image of the concept they'll be bringing to the Detroit Auto Show next month. In it we see...a headlight. We can safely assume that this concept, if it has any production intention, will have the same plug-in hybrid drivetrain as the Toyota Plug-in Prius-- a 98-horsepower 1.8-liter I4 and an 80 hp electric motor. If it's a pure concept, the gloves are off and this could be some sort of radical AWD, double-engined design. We'll know soon enough, until then we focus on the design.
Toyota is also going to bring the production version of the Prius c to the Detroit show. But we already knew that.

This looks like just another baby car, like the Fit, etc. Come on, Toyota, give us a hybrid Diesel-Electric RAV4 (not a pure electric).
