toyota has been taunting this for such a long time now
TOYOTA, tell us something we dont know!
at this point with so much fingers pointing towards lithium ion, its automatically assumed that when the execs say lithium battery, they mean lithium ion
it wouldnt be cost effective wise to have lithium polymer batteries in a hybrid production car

Two points.
1. Current Prius get about 50MPG. 1/3 better mileage puts it at 65MPG+.
2. The RX400h get about 25MPG. 1/3 better mileage puts it at 33MPG. This will be a turning point for the Lexus RX. I believe sales of the RX400h will surpass sales of the gas only models esepecially if price point are comparable.
