[complete article](http://www.motortrend.com/features/auto_news/2008/112_0901_toyota_prius_coupe_preview/index.html)

> Toyota is developing a range of Priuses that will include a small pickup based on the 2008 A-BAT concept and a sporty, 2+2 coupe to compete with Honda’s upcoming CRZ hybrid coupe.
