That's why Prius will break out from Toyota and become a new auto brand. It's very similar to Toyota giving birth to the Scion brand. The Scion's tC, xB, & xD are almost parallel models with Toyota's Yaris, Corolla & Matrix. Only the lifestyle marketing makes them distinctive from each other.
The new Prius (Piuses, Prii, Prium,etc?) models will have larger & smaller (maybe hybrid iQ) versions in conjunction with the mother-Toyota & brother-Scion.
