Toyota Sells One Million Hybrids

To paraphrase US TV network Comedy Central's South Park, that's a whole lot of smug. Since Toyota first started selling the first generation Prius sedan in 1997, more than 750,000 Priuses have been sold worldwide since. Toyota calculates that the more than one million Toyota hybrid models currently sold over the period have reduced global carbon emissions by 3.5 million tons (that's a lot of gas).

Curiously, only 500 Lexus LS600hL units have been sold since that model's market debut in Japan earlier this year.

Press release in full after jump.
