2015 , Toyota Planning to Add Another 10 Hybrids Worldwide By 2015
This morning, Toyota released its “Global Vision” outline for the future, a document so scintillating that had he penned it, Jerry Maguire would have fired himself. In addition to a fabulous arboreal metaphor for the company’s foci, it mentions that the big T will introduce an additional 10 hybrid models worldwide by 2015. But hold on: This being a global document, many of the reported 10 models won’t be headed to the U.S. While Toyota doesn’t go into detail on what those vehicles might be,
the recently unveiled Yaris hybrid and Prius v/Prius+ are likely included in that total. Additionally, we expect to see hybrid versions of every car in the next generation of Lexus’s lineup. (We recently discovered a copyright application for Lexus ES300h.) Toyota’s plan may be well timed—instability in the Middle East and higher demand from Asia means gas will only continue to climb in price—but fuel is going to need to cost a lot more than today’s $3.50/gallon for us to find many Toyota hybrids alluring.
