    Well, the 2.2 litre engine from Toyota also didn't get very good results. On the other hand earlier versions of the 2 litre and the 1.4 litre did quite well.

    It could very well be what you point out, Europe certainly isn't Toyota's biggest market and therefore the development of their diesel engines suffers as a result.

    I heard that the results were a bit of a disappointment and the fuel usage was very different from those claimed. Unfortunately they had some delays (read: 10.000liters of leaking coolant water running through the area) so the final results are not in yet..

    The CT 200h maybe more performance oriented than the Prius?

    i think the ct200h is certainly more performance oriented which is a factor. its also got a heavier curb weight and more resistant tires than the prius. either way theyve both got remarkable fuel economy numbers. what do you guys think of toyota expanding the prius line-up? its nice theyre giving more options.

    Last issue of Evo mentioned a rumor that the next Prius might get a "Sports" model, possibly rear drive, and possibly with a new hybrid system thats compatible with a manual transmission......that I am certainly interested in seeing....

    So it will be like a CR-Z but with rear wheel drive? Well is size and weight don't go too much up...
