Not long ago the future was diesel tech. It is really sad that Toyota never realized this FACT.Finally Toyota realizes what the future is.
Mission already accomplished. The huge prius battery weights 90 lbs. A tiny 85 kwh EV battery weights only 1300 lbs. This translates to roughly 14x times more weight than NiMH prius battery.Just make sure that the making of the battery does not emit for CO2 than it will save like the Prius battery.

Thank you!@Lexus Cohen: debut is believed to be at January NAIAS in Detroit, on sale in dealers mid-2017.
On topic, I'd love an all-electric LS if it had good range; the Model S has its charms, but a well-built luxurious car it ain't.
While it certainly isn't LS quality, the production standards have significantly improved from the earlier models and I'm more than satisfied with the build quality and especially performance of mine. Now looking forward to my son's Model 3!@Lexus Cohen: debut is believed to be at January NAIAS in Detroit, on sale in dealers mid-2017.

I am shocked by your response! What VAG did/does has nothing to do with my wording, but you present the whole matter as VAG's pipe dream and you put them on the same basket with Toyota!!! I was referring to actual automakers, not Mafia! VAG and scammers products should never get benchmarked and mentioned as respectful competitors, otherwise it is like we applaud their defrauding tactics. Thanks to their cheating culture they introduced expensive solutions in their products in an affordable way in terms of economics, beat the competition and won the admiration from everyone. The whole scheme is an introduction and an academic lesson about how plots implemented and when it is the right time having the "shocking" truth revealed.For VAG diesel was the future, for Toyota HFC was the future. It turns out they both had their FACTS wrong, now they finally both realized they were wrong.
I hope readers get the irony in my comment!Mission already accomplished. The huge prius battery weights 90 lbs. A tiny 85 kwh EV battery weights only 1300 lbs. This translates to roughly 14x times more weight than NiMH prius battery.
