Yes, that's right; even though we're counting hours for the official debut of the new 2010 Prius, a new photograph of Toyota's highly anticipated hybrid model has made its way into the net. The third generation Prius is scheduled to go on sale worldwide from this spring. Compared to the current model, Toyota's new hybrid car is said to have grown a bit in size and that it will feature a more powerful, yet more fuel efficient and tightly packaged hybrid drivetrain system.For now, the new Prius will stick with nickel-metal hydride batteries but Toyota is said to be developing more powerful lithium-ion batteries for use in the near future - quite possibly, during a mid-life facelift.
