Toyota to Be All-Hybrid by 2012!

Toyota plans to use gasoline-electric hybrid engines in all of its vehicles by 2012, according to an item in the Washington Post which cites a company executive. No further details were provided.

Toyota was the first automaker to bring a hybrid to market, the Prius in 1997. Last year, Toyota sold 36,928 hybrids out or a total of 5.9 million vehicles.

Holy shit!

that will be impressive if they do. I wonder how junkyards are going to handle huge toxic batteries. Those have to be expensive to dispose of.
