Notice how Toyota's approach toward hybrids basically left no market share for manual transmissions on Euro-spec versions of some models, such as the current generations of the Corolla and Rav4 for instance.

At worst they might have to discontinue a few of the most gas guzzling engines or models to reach that as an average.
Convincing an American or Canadian redneck to favor a smaller engine is not as easy as trying the same with an European or even a Brazilian for instance.
