Yaris hybrid, anyone?

Via ABG: Watanabe: Each Toyota model will have a hybrid option



Wouldn't this be
interesting?

Toyota's CEO (re)announces his company's plans to offer hybrid drive in every model:

Quote:
Each Toyota model will have a hybrid powertrain available so that Toyota can reach the goal of selling a million hybrids per year. (source)
Interesting that this should be reported on the same day I also read... Toyota overtakes Ford in U.S.

Quote:
Japan-based auto maker assumes the No. 2 position, the first time since 1931 that Ford has not held the spot
I'm not saying they're connected. Just saying.

That's really good news... Sounds like Toyota's hybrid investment is really paying off
