    According the the latest issue of Automobile Magazine, Toyota is going to start calling all Hydbid vehicles "Prius" beginning in 2009.

    There will be 3 different models released starting in 2009. Then additional models will be released in 2010, and 2011.

    The first release will be smaller than the current Prius, maybe a little bigger than the Yaris

    The second will be around the same size as the current Priius

    The third will be around the same size as the Camry.

    The Camry hybrid will end with the current model ( The article didn't say what year).

    Concept photos show the "prius X type" with the all glass roof.

    I just found the link to Automobile Magazine. Here it is.

    The moment they said the TCH will end after one cycle, I disregarded the article.

    Yes, we know that Toyota wants to expand the Prius lineup and make variants of it but the TCH won't be killed off. There's the rest of the world that don't get the Camry. The world does NOT revolve around making cars for the US. The Prius C will not replace the TCH.
