Toyota's new, seven- passenger hybrid-drive Highlander mothership will hit dealerships this June, giving soccer moms a new reason to rock the car pool. A 3.3-liter V6 engine, with a high-torque electric drive motor, generating 268hp — at mileage ratings higher than most four-cylinder compacts. Mom is totally psyched her SUV-class street-racing cred won't be compromised by her environmental conscience.
