REPORT: Forthcoming Prius coupe to be designed in Italy

Filed under: Coupe, Hybrid, Toyota

Following last month's news of a Toyota Prius coupe coming to challenge the Honda CR-Z, another Japanese magazine reports that Toyota will use an Italian design firm to style the two-door.

The CR-Z was inspired by the CRX, yet in design and philosophy, it is likely to be quite different from the Honda Insight. If there's any truth to this latest rumor, the Prius coupe, on the other hand, will be based on the sedan and be just four inches shorter. And even though the companies behind some of the world's most fabulous cars - Pininfarina, Guigario - have been mentioned, the coupe is expected "to be very close to the current Prius."

Not sure if this is such a great idea. Why jump on the bandwagon?
