The other conflict in this rumormill stuff is that the new concept car is supposed to be a dedicated hybrid model -- i.e. a hybrid only model. The iQ info talks about the hybrid being an option -- so maybe we will be seeing TWO new hybrids from Toyota?
The other possibility is that the dedicated model is a serial hybrid; which would be only one electric motor? That would square up with it being similar to the 1/X concept we saw a few years ago?
