The world might be in the throes of an economic crisis, but that isn't going to stop Toyota from selling as many Toyota hybrid vehicles as they can. Toyota recently announced that they hope to sell 400,000 Prius vehicles by 2010, maintaining the Toyota Hybrid's dominance of the ecologically friendly, fuel conscious marketplace.

The new Prius, to debut for the 2009 Detroit auto show, will go on sale in both Japan and in the United States in the spring of 2009. Toyota hopes to sell 180,000 Prius units in the United States in the first year alone, which is a lofty goal that will match the Prius' best year ever.

The Toyota hybrid Prius has sold more than 1 million units worldwide since its debut more than a decade ago. The new Prius is expected to get an average of 50 miles per gallon, which will help keep its rating as the most fuel efficient car in mass production. This is 4 miles per gallon better than the current version of the Prius.
