New Hybrid Cars Hitting the market Next Year: Camry and Hyundai hybrids coming sooner than expected!
Toyota plans to start building Camry hybrid cars in Kentucky as early as next year according to the AFP. Due to oil prices, Toyota believes that interest in hybrids is going to grow faster than originally expected and is going to push this top-selling to Toyota to hybrid status as quickly as possible.
In addition, Toyota is also considering the possibility of a hybrid powered sports car in the near future, though specifics were not announced. Already Porsche has announced interest in developing a hybrid version of its Cayenne, in partnership with Toyota.
Hyundai also announced plans to bring hybrid cars to America a year earlier than originally planned. By late 2006, Hyundai will offer hybrid versions of both the Accent and the Kia Rio.
In stark contrast to GM, for example, Hyundai will not offer large hybrid vehicles because of their "low profitability". GM has maintained that they are not interested in hybrid cars for the same reason and will only focus only on large hybrid SUVs and trucks.
I guess that isn't much of a surprise from a company that is ramping up to market a new line of large SUVs during an economic crisis largely caused by gas-guzzling vehicles.
