Toyota goal: 1 million hybrids a year By James R. Healey, USA TODAY read at source> www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2007-06-11-toyota-usat_N.htmAfter taking a decade to sell its first 1 million gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles worldwide, Toyota Motor (TM) now says it plans to sell 1 million a year within a few years. At the same time, the big automaker appears to be backing away from a pledge made a few years ago that hybrid powertrains would be available as options on nearly every one of its U.S. vehicles by 2010. "The right car, at the right place, at the right time, in accordance with energy trends," said Mira Sleilati, spokeswoman at Toyota Motor North America, the automaker's holding company. Her comment was via e-mail, in response to questions about Toyota's alternative-power vehicles.
