According to an AP report (who was quoting from Yomiuri), Toyota is planning on a larger version of the Prius.
In order to power the Prius SUV or station wagon, they will be substituting a lithium-ion battery pack for the nickel metal hydride batter found in the current Prius.
That would be a big change for Toyota, who has avoided the lithium-ion battery so far. The Yomiuri says the new Prius will cost about $22,000, which would also be unexpected given how much more expensive a SUV or station wagon can cost, plus the additional battery cost.Source URL: http://ashesgarrett.blogspot.com/2009/11/toyota-contemplating-2010-prius-suv-or.html
