Detroit 2011: Toyota Prius family will grow with a smaller hatchback?

Sprinkled around Cobo Hall this morning in the wee hours of the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, we discovered a number of promotional images from Toyota teasing the big Prius announcement that’s coming later this afternoon. We don’t know with 100 percent certainty, but in addition to the Prius MPV we already knew about, the ad sure makes it look like the secret Prius concept to be unveiled later today will be, ta da!, a smaller Prius hatchback.

From what we can gather, the diminutive hatch will officially be unveiled in a few hours, but we thought the new Prius family line-up – featuring (from left) the Prius Plug In, the Prius MPV, the standard Prius and the new hatchback – was worth sharing. Stay tuned for live pics and the full details once we’re back form the Toyota press conference. Until then, discuss if you’d like to go for a spin in the smallest version of the world’s best-selling hybrid.

Jeep XJ001 Prototype makes us want to grow a mustache, wear jean cut-offs

1969 Jeep XJ001 Prototype – Click above for image gallery

We spend more than a few moments of our day on the “what ifs” of the automotive world. What if Jaguar decided to get back into the supercar game? What if Ford made a Bronco with Raptor underpinnings? What if Jeep finally decided to build another pickup? Even so, we’ve never wondered what a sports car built by the off-road kings at Jeep would look like. Fortunately, we don’t have to. In 1969, Jeep got it in its mind to build a vehicle with the road manners of your average car, the off-road prowess of its rugged CJ line and a meaty V8 up front.

The result was the XJ001 Prototype. With a unique fiberglass body and a windshield-frame that doubled as a roll-bar, the design wasn’t exactly the most attractive creation on four wheels. But the concept packed a 360 cubic-inch V8 behind its headlights and the beginnings of a Quadratrac all-wheel drive system down below, making it an unholy terror on or off road. The ridiculously optimistic nature of the beast has us entirely smitten, but unfortunately, the XJ001 is nowhere to be found today. The truck/car hybrid met its end during a shipping accident where it burnt to the ground.
