1 Millionth Toyota Hybrid Sold
We're not talking world wide, because that happened about a year ago, but Toyota has officially sold over 1 million hybrids in the United States. This sales figure includes all hybrids under the Toyota and Lexus branding, quite a feat. Gas prices last summer obviously helped drive the hybrid market, but there is something to say about having over 1 million hybrid cars on the road today from one manufacturer.
Toyota has been dominating the hybrid market with over 75% of the market share. Furthermore they have been offering 6 differnet hybrid badged cars under Toyota and Lexus manufacturing, where other domestic manufacturers are simply trying to catch up.
Continually pushing the hybrid envelope, Toyota plans to offer a luxury edition Priusy hybrid in 2010. No doubt, if anyone has any money left, greenies will be buying this luxury early adopted technology right off the manufacturing line.
