Takimoto also made the bold claim that by 2020, hybrids will be the standard drivetrain and account for “100 percent†of Toyota’s cars as they would be no more expensive to produce than a conventional vehicle.
The way things are going with our environment, having that many hybrid vehicles on the road would be the next best thing to no vehicles at all. Hybrid vehicles doesn’t sound very manly, but the fact is, they can be fast, as is evidenced by the Tesla Roadster which can go from 0 – 60 in under 4 seconds.
