Yes, here comes another one, the Lexus HS-250 (the other six are, of course, the Prius, Camry, Highlander, GS, RX, and LS). This will be the first 4-banger Lexus ever. And despite all the predictions of doom for hybrids, they've now been here for almost ten years, are made by at least five major mfrs (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, GM, and Ford) with still more coming. And no massive epidemic of battery failures. A decent looking car, at least to my eye. Generally Prius-sized, more "normal" looking, and with the more potent engine, more go.
It's got the exact same 106.3 inch wheelbase as the new Prius does, but it appears to have the same 187 net hp (2.4L gas engine) drive system as the Hybrid Camry.
Here's a link to the detailed Lexus press release.
