In Europe diesels are quite a hit. They are cars with great performances, but with low fuel consumption. But diesel, and gasoline in the same time, are soon to be goners, and we need new solutions to that. So Lexus thought: why not offering the same performances in a hybrid car? Lets take for example the BMW 1-Series, or Audi A3 and make a hybrid competitor for them. But could this be possible? Lexus says yes, and the first step into this direction will be made this September at the Frankfurt Motor Show where Lexus will unveil a first concept version.

Andy Pfeiffenberger, Lexus chief in Europe, said in a recent interview: "Our hybrid saloons are going up against the V8 diesels in Europe. In future we need to compete against the four-cylinder diesels. So we will enter new sectors with low-displacement hybrids. The C-premium segment is the fastest growing segment and we must be in it."
The production version will go on sale in 2010 and will be priced at around $20K.
