Well, Lexus has a decent number of hybrids as well. Only cars considered sporty are the F models. Maybe it's a good sign that Scion has zero hybrids so far.

Lexus added hybrids to the lineup because they will sell. They were right tho, everyone in luxury segment is following the trend set by Lexus.

I assume they are trying to make Toyota the more ecofriendly approach and push Scion/Lexus more of a performance approach. I won't be surprised if Toyota releases another sports car it will come out Scion in U.S.
