CVT's are not entirely new, and not exclusive to Toyota. I think it was a German concept, but I am not sure. Other manufacturers like Ford are also using CVT's. The answer, as far as Toyota is concerned would have to be answered by Toyota engineers. The Ford 500 uses a CVT and the Escape Hybrid uses a variation of the CVT. The trend does seem to indicate that all the manufacturers are going in that direction, and that there will be more CVT's on the road soon. So I would expect the answer to be yes for all manufacturers, Toyota and everyone else.
