May 14, 2007: Toyota’s Geneva press conference was packed. It might have had something to do with the fact that the company’s stand is in an awkward corner of Geneva’s Palexpo with little room for seating. But there’s no getting around the fact that juggernaut Toyota is a big deal right now. And the Toyota Hybrid X isn’t just another funky hybrid concept car. We think it’s a pretty good look at what the third-generation Toyota Prius could be, courtesy of Toyota’s European design studio….

One of the concept cars exhibited by Toyota at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show is the environmentally-friendly 1/X concept car.
Based on a concept of reducing vehicle weight to “1/Xth” that of other vehicles in its class, the 1/X was reduced in weight to 420kg, which is about one-third that of the Prius. Fuel efficiency that is almost double that of the Prius was also targeted while maintaining an interior space comparable to the Prius.
As an FFV (Flex Fuel Vehicle) that can use bioethanol in addition to gasoline, the 1/X is based on a 500cc engine and also features a plug-in hybrid system that allows charging from an external power source.
The power unit is located beneath the rear seat for a midship, rear-wheel-drive system.
The body frame features lightweight, high-rigidity carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) to ensure superior collision safety performance while allowing narrower pillars for a wider field of vision.
The 1/X is a four passenger vehicle with an overall length of 3.9m, an overall width of 1.62m, an overall length of 1.41m, and a wheelbase of 2.6m.

August 04, 2008: CHECK OUT THE HYBRID VS. NON-HYBRID COMPARISON:
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/…
Consider this: The 2008 Toyota Prius base model costs 50 percent more than the 2008 Honda Fit base model. Then again, the Prius is 50 percent more fuel-efficient than the Fit when you look at the EPA’s figure for combined mpg. So how does this add up?
You could save $8,425 right now by buying a $15,420 Honda Fit instead of the $23,845 Toyota Prius. Of course, if the price of gasoline goes higher, then the Prius with its EPA combined estimate of 46 mpg will pay you back for your investment sooner than you’d expect. Then again, the Fit with its EPA combined estimate of 30 mpg doesn’t carry the same penalty of higher financing charges, insurance costs and taxes as the more expensive Prius, plus the Toyota will be needing a new $2,585 battery pack when the odometer shows 100,000-150,000 miles.
Which car is best? It sounds like the kind of question for one of those money magazines. Yes, we’ve painted ourselves into a bit of a projected-cost corner with this comparison of the base models of the 2008 Honda Fit and 2008 Toyota Prius, but we think we can get out without stepping on too much wet paint
