It’s incredibly hard to believe that the original Prius went on sale a full dozen years ago, but as the debatable face of the hybrid reaches its third generation, Toyota as a whole is celebrating the sale of its two millionth hybrid. As of August 31st, global sales of the automaker’s hybrid fleet has surpassed 2.01 million, and as of now, there are 13 hybrids in the company’s lineup. Later this year, Lexus (the outfit’s luxury brand) is set to see its fourth hybrid hit the streets, and it’s been said that Toyota could have a hybrid version of every motorcar it sells by the end of the next decade. Not like it’ll matter — we’ll all be cruising around in Jetson-mobiles or Tesla Roadsters by then, anyway.
