Toyota is planning to make hybrid versions of its entire fleet in the next 6 years. This goal also motivates them to reduce the cost of making hybrid cars; they hope that the eventual price differential would be under $2500. Yay!

I would be happier with this news if Toyota hybrid SUVs were more fuel efficient than their gasoline powered cars. They don't seem to be. They are, however, more powerful!
Interesting; I know nothing about SUVs, which make me nuts. I have been frustrated with car makers generally, however, for putting increased engine efficiency to the service of power over economy -- even a lot of compact cars (Outback, Mazda3, etc.) now have a completely unnecessary 140 horsepower (my old Integra was considered a sports model with 120) while having mid-20s mpg. no better than 15 years ago. At least give consumers a choice!
