When it comes to hybrids, the first and last name that most people think of
is Toyota, with a good amount of attention being paid toward their Hybrid
Synergy Drive technology. The Geneva Motor Show is next month and it will be at
that venue that Toyota plans on unveiling the Hybrid X Concept. At least they
gave us a sneak peek at the car (but it's a vague-ish picture of the rear end,
prominently featured that Synergy Drive badge).
While the Civic Hybrid looks almost identical to the regular gas-burning
kind, Toyota wants to do something different with their hybrids, getting them to
stand out from the rest of the crowd. They aim to use "design to help
differentiate its hybrid offerings from its other models." Really? Because the
Camry Hybrid doesn't look all that special. Same with the Lexus 400h. In fact,
the only hybrid that looks special is the Prius.

What about the plug-in option ? That's the 100+ mpg option I'm waiting for. I'd trade in my 05 Prius for a plug-in version but will instead get a conversion done on mine from EnergyCS as soon as they release it.
