Toyota launches hybrid car?

I own and drive (between Easter and Thanksgiving) a sport compact car built during the heyday of that type, a 1993 Toyota MR2. As such, I have a soft spot for cars that fulfilly my aviator's premise, maximizing the thrust-to-mass ratio. Ten to fifteen years ago, a plethora of them were available, with the top dogs in the class including the Mazda RX7, the Honda Prelude, the Mitsubishi 3000GT, and the Toyota Supra. Each of them fell prey to corporate cost-cutting and Americans' love affair with the SUV in the mid-to-late 90s, but are beloved by enthusiasts to this day.
With this perspective, and the return of the modern Japanese sports car in the body of the RX8, it gives me hope to see the following, that Toyota Motor Company may be interested in selling something other than Prius, Camry, and trucks in the US. I look forward to seeing this at the Chicago Auto Show in my annual pilgrimage to same.
