If you were excited about the Detroit Auto Show coming on January 17-25, 2009, then you should be even more excited to hear what Toyota plans to unveil there.  Toyota will be bringing a small, battery-electric ”urban commuter vehicle concept” according to autoweek.com.  There are not many details known about this car, but it is said that Toyota will just put this vehicle on the show floor and answer whatever questions are asked by the media during the media preview January 11-13.  They do not plan to have a formal press conference about this battery-electric vehicle.  A spokesperson for Toyota hinted that this car would be similar to the Toyota iQ.  Toyota plans to mass produce a battery-electric car for 2010.  Also on a side note,  Toyota will reveal the 2010 Prius at the Detroit Auto Show as well.  During these bleak economic times and especially for the auto industry, the Detroit show should get people a little enthusiatic about the new cars that will be out in the next few years.  I’m excited and looking forward to more news on new cars to be revealed at the show in the next month.
