i bet you're right! i can see them combining the prius c and yaris hatch into a 'smaller than the prius v' hybrid. i would LOVE to see them make an all-electric version of the classic yaris liftback(there's folks already who have done it themselves). considering the smallish size it shouldn't require a large battery-thus keeping costs down, but toyota seems stubborn to adopt to all-electric technology. i did see, however, they are entering a partnership with panasonic on batteries so that's a start
