I expect at some point Toyota will offer a hybrid other than the Prius. The Yaris may or may not be it, but don't dismiss the possibility simply because the Yaris (or Scion?) might challenge the Prius. People buy certain models of cars for a lot of different reasons. Scion v. Yaris....

fyi they offer hybrid camrys and highlanders

not a fan of hybrids especially if you expect to keep it for more than the 3/36k
in the long run you'll spend jus as much maintaining a hybrid compare to a gas
after manufac warranty run out or failure to read and follow the owners manual
you'll shell out upto almost 3bills for the aux battery an upto 8g for the HV battery
hybrids as great cars only in the hands of knoledgable owners
