It looks like Toyota is leading the way in hybrid technology. With the gas prices on constant rise people will definitely consider these vehicles.

I think I read that Mitsubishi has a Hybrid Eclipse coming out that is in the 400+ HP area as well. In the upcoming years we will see more and more of a transition, it will be interesting which hybrid technology comes out on top when all is said and done.
The Mazda RX8 is supposedly being fitted to use Hydrogen power for 2006...we'll see. |

Nothing can stop Toyota now. Ford will be using Toyota parts to make their own hybrid cars.
Ford HEV to Still Incorporate 100 Unique Patents Despite Toyota Parts Supply
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, or so the age-old saying goes. On the subject, Ford Motor Co. will be incorporating some components from Toyota Motor Corp.'s hybrid gasoline-electric engine technology in its upcoming HEVs.
Toyota is the world leader in full-hybrid systems, as used in its Prius HEV, more sophisticated than the partial systems used by Honda. Toyota's alignment with Ford, which has had its Escape Hybrid in the developmental stage for years, is a coup for both automakers.
Ford will be quicker to market with what is sure to be a popular new model, Toyota will improve the economies of scale of its HEV system production and therefore reduce the cost of components, and in the process another fuel efficient, low emissions vehicle will become available to Americans. |
