Toyota Reportedly Planning Prius Wagon or SUV With Lithium Battery Pack




Japan's leading news paper, Yomiuri, reports Toyota Motor Corp's is planning on producing a wagon and SUV around the end of 2010. The Prius is the only vehicle sold in the U.S. on its existing platform.    The Hybrid X Concept debuted in 2007 Geneva could be the bases for the wagon, while the  Venza could be  the basis for the up coming SUV.  No word on whether a Prius wagon/SUV will use a rechargable,  plug-in system or if it will carry conventional hybrid system recharged by the regenerative braking system.
