Why does every car have to get LARGER each iteration?

Honda's doing a FIT Hybrid. Where's Toyota's Yaris Hybrid? or Corolla Hybrid?

There's no need to have 2 "camry" hybrids... one with a 2.4, and one with a 1.8.

As a commuter car, a Yaris 3 dr will do... add Hybrid system to that. It still has the 1.5 liter so it's all good.
No idea but the current Prius is larger, more powerful, more fuel efficient etc etc than the 1st Gen. Also it doesn't have to be the size of the Camry. It's expected to be Corolla-sized in length (it's currenty 3 inches shorter than a Corolla)

Maybe IS money so that it can (sorta) replaced the IS300 SportCross (if it turns out to be a hatchback). The thing is, that's good for us Prius owners cause that means we can benefit from some Lexus stuff (like the Camry does to the ES)
