The funny thing is that studies have shown that the prius is actually worse for the environment then a h2 hummer. The bi-products from making the batteries and the fact that during the manufacturing process of the car it is shipped around the world by diesel burning boats before it arrives at a dealership. the batteries are started in canada and finished in germany. then are shipped to japan for car production then the cars are shipped here for sale. besides the fact that prius owners would have to drive them until the wheels fall off to recoupe the extra 10K+ they cost over a corolla, which gets around 30 mpg.
They just have the "...desperate desire to be seen to be green "
I know a few six-figure folks who pick up a Prius because it's an ego-trip for them. They feel sensible but don't have to appear cheap at the same time?

I wish I had a 19 gallon tank in my mariner... it seems I am going thru more gas now than i did my z... but its equalling the same as the z. BUt cost close to 36cents less
di dyou not read it?? It says the batteries have been tested over 100K miles and no problems and that they come with a 8yr 100,000 mile warranty soo that means you dont have to replace them

Nope didnt read it. I read the first post and thats it. Sure they tested it but you could be the unlucky one to get the car with the bad battery and somehow they'll say it's your fault. just sayin
