Another hybrid car? Maybe not. Toyota has announced that the new Prius will be powered not by a four-cylinder hybrid powertrain but by V6 engine and conventional automatic transmission!
"The Prius V6 bestows the same 'green chic' while delivering the performance and acceleration of a conventional mid-size sedan.", says a Toyota spokesperson.
In place of the HYBRID badge, the new Prius V6 will brag the new HY6RID badge-- which stands for "High-performance 6-cylinder Racing Inspired Design". "Now that's a better way of saying it", reckons my Autopartswarehouse buddies.

It doesn't matter what kind of motor they put in a Prius, its not the engine people piss about its the damn look of that car. It looks like a box.
