From the Geneva Auto Show - Toyota Hybrid X Showcar
Plus info on the 2008 Toyota Prius

The Hybrid X is Toyota's concept of where hybrid cars could be going in the year 2000, er, whatever. Actually, the next-generation Prius is rumored to look a lot like the current one, with some spyshots linked here. The 2008 Prius is expected to replace it's 1.5 liter engine with a 1.8 liter motivator. Smarter programming, better batteries, and maybe even a solar panel on the roof are said to raise the Prius's gas mileage to the 80 mpg mark.
