The Japanese Toyota is plotting an attack for the new direct rival to it Honda , the Insight . A model that is sold at a cost much less than the Prius III , detail of concern, and rightly Toyota . It is estimated that this model comes to cost 2 million yen ( 15600 euros ) 20 or 30% cheaper than the Prius III . A price that could bring serious problems Honda .
At first it was thought that this place could fill it in Prius II , but apparently this is completely new model, which would aim directly at Insight .
This war is a clear sign that it Toyota to Honda , where this is expected (at least me) that enthusiasm to other firms to enter this market because hybrids and electric cars are in their childhood (say in some way).
Any brand at this point, you can give batacazo and jump right into this segment. With only enhance the autonomy of the same, may achieve many things.
For now is all that is known of the new hybrid submit Toyota . But do not despair, as it is possible that before the end of the year we have some sign of this new model.
