Hopefully the dedicated hybrid follows the design lines of the FCX clarity.

I have a feeling based on the spy-shots it will look eerily similar to the Prius.

Rumors have it that the new Honda will have slightly better MPG numbers than the current Prius with a much lower MSRP (below 19 grand) - one rumor has it at a highway high rating of 70mpg - just rumors though...

Quit talking about Toyota's for once will you? You're the most annoying poster on this site by far since I joined a while ago.

Go get a job or go to school. Right now you're image in my head is a fat 17 year old kid dieting on McDonald's with lots and lots of freckles dreaming of one day owning a Lexus but you have to settle for a Toyota badge.

I'm shocked that the Spies here were not able to get any kind of photos or pics, instead are using FCX pictures. That astounds me, although they may have been too busy lookin at the girls at the Auto Show or using Q-tips on their BMW air vents.
