Toyota mulling addition of sporty hybrid to compete with Honda CR-Z — Autoblog Green

It's far from official, but reports still suggest that Toyota could be working on a hybrid sportscar to duke it out with the Honda CR-Z. When Honda first took the wraps off its CR-Z coupe, we believed Toyota would swiftly respond by stuffing a more performance-oriented version of its Synergy Drive powertrain into a currently available model, offer this vehicle for sale at a price below the CR-Z, brag about its mileage capabilities and call it a day. That's not exactly how it played out. Honda has officially launched its CR-Z and Toyota is still searching for an answer.
