http://dvice.com/assets_c/2010/01/toyota-ft-ch-01-thumb-550x359-31825.jpgIt's press day at the Detroit Auto Show, and Toyota just rolled out a compact hybrid called the FT-CH. This two-door four-seater is a concept car so far, but Toyota is hinting this one might actually make it to showrooms. It'll fill a niche — designed to be considerably cheaper and smaller than the established Toyota Prius (http://dvice.com/archives/2009/09/plug-in-prius-d.php).

In the gallery, ogle those weird LED headlights, looking more like vents for light to peek through than conventional auto illumination. Toyota says the FT-CH will be a hybrid vehicle, but we're hoping it'll be more of the plug-in hybrid (http://dvice.com/archives/2009/09/plug-in-prius-d.php) or electric car persuasion.
