ive been reading up on the highlander hybrid ever since i heard my mom talking about wanting to get one when it comes out .. and the hybrid version is not going to be an "upgrade" to the 4x4 v6 version... everything ive read(including toyotas own site, says it will be available in different versions... both base and limited forms 4x2 or 4x4, with all the same option packages as the regular gas version.. i think this is the best way to do it...because not everyone wants a fully decked out hybrid, nor can everyone afford one equipped like so.

heres from toyotas site:
