2010 Toyota Prius

Scion hybrid coupe: Toyota is expected to spin off a two-door version of the new Prius architecture. It's likely the new coupe will be badged a Scion, and will take on the Honda CR-Z concept. It may eventually replace the Scion tC. Expect a base price of $19,900.

Prius wagon: Various sources say a tall-wagon version of the Prius is in the works--something along the lines of a Mazda5, and possibly earmarked for Europe. However, a Prius-bred truck seems less likely: Toyota's A-Bat concept previewed a possible Toyota Prius pickup truck, but will anyone sign up for a vehicle less capable than a Ford Ranger?

The new Prius will be built in Japan; Toyota just announced it would suspend plans indefinitely that would have put Prius production in the state of Mississippi, and with gas prices in the $1.50 range, the Prius is hurting for sales just like most other cars. Still, Toyota is committed to making hybrid versions of all its cars within a decade.

    Will the 2010 Prius do better in snow. My 2005 looses power when tires slip in snow due to the traction control feature. I can't even climb a small incline in a driveway because the car can't move in snow. A big minus for the Prius in states that get a lot of snow.
