Japan’s Nihon Keizai Shimbun reports that Toyota Motor plans to offer gasoline-electric hybrid versions for all vehicle classes to meet its target of quadrupling annual worldwide hybrid sales to 1 million vehicles by 2012…

What does that mean for us the potential hybrid buyers?

Yes, you read my mind and this article, this will lower the prices, which has always been a bit above my range. Claims that prices could fall as low as 40% will be seen in 2012. Now that will definitely attract more buyers. The other reason, is that you and your car will not stick as a tree-hugger, hence lowering that “smug” factor.
