Toyota is backing off on its promise to have a hybrid engine in every car in its lineup by 2010. According to Mira Sleilati, spokeswoman at Toyota, "The right car, at the right place, at the right time, in accordance with energy trends."

Instead, they will be looking to have twice as many models with hybrid technology. That would put hybrids in only 12 of their 35 vehicles, and that only in the early 2010s. They are also pushing back their sales goal of 1 million hybrids a year into the early 2010s.
