Toyota Matrix Hybrid spotted?

So, what once was a small-time rumor could now move up to big-time rumor - a 2009 Hybrid Matrix. PriusChat poster naterprius has posted that he saw a "newer body Toyota Matrix, in medium dark blue, with an HSD badge on it, and a strange bumper sticker (on the tailgate) that said "Test Vehicle 70 MPH" or "Test Vehicle 70 MPG"." This sighting in Boulder, CO comes only a couple of days after AutoBlog reported the rumor that GM and Toyota might be working on a Matrix/Vibe Hybrid together.

Does that add up to a Hybrid Matrix in 2009? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

With my wife currently on a small car kick, I think I could get her to take a look at a hybrid Matrix.
Of course, Toyota said that their entire line-up will have a hybrid option within a few years, so another Toyota hybrid really shouldn't come as a huge surprise to anyone.

That would be cool! A nice alternative to the Prius for those that can't afford one.

we've talked so many times about hybrid cars on the market, but this one is just a blast. a lot of car enthusiasts enjoyed and love this one.
