The Prius has been one of Toyota’s biggest sellers for years now. And with its unbeatable fuel efficiency, who could blame buyers for being attracted to it? But to a buyer with horsepower, speed and a little danger in mind, the Prius may not be the best fit. But not to fret, Toyota is out to win the hearts of all with the possible first-ever sports coupe based on the the wildly popular Toyota Prius. Toyota Gurnee dealers have announced that a Prius based sport coupe is in the works as a 2012 model, which will add more power and more style to the most fuel efficient vehicle out on the road today.
When I stopped in to find out more at a local Toyota dealership, Gurnee dealers assured me that this new Prius coupe will have plenty to offer everyone. While the interior will keep many of the same traits as the current Prius, the exterior will get a whole new look. Likely to be a two door, it will boast a unique and fresh style, but will look faster and more sleek than before.
But it will also be faster and more sleek than before. The new coupe will keep the same 1.8 liter engine as the current Prius, but is expected to get more horsepower than before, delivering an even more exciting ride. But with more horsepower comes less fuel efficiency, right? Maybe. The Prius coupe will still be equipped with the Hybrid Synergy Drive, so even with the extra oomph, this new coupe will be extremely green.
If you already own a Prius, Waukegan dealers are sure that you are already excited about this new coupe. This new model will be a dream to drive, and it will keep your “green” friends from nagging you about the environment, which is enough to throw a party for. So stop in to your local Waukegan dealer to find out more about this new Prius-based sport coupe, a car that will keep everybody happy.
