How do you figure it will only be good for 100,000. Luddites said that about the first Prius, and were wrong then. It'll probably be a horrible car, but for the low 20s and getting good gas mileage plus oozing Pious goodness, I'm sure it will sell.
Now I said a few 100,000 miles as in 200,000+, now I'm no luver or hater, but facts is facts, and gas is getting a little high out there folks, and some folks don't wana or can't spend 30,000+ on a commuter. Some say they'll stay in there big v8 trucks no matter what, lets say a 300 mile a week commute at 15mpg or 50mpg and 5$'s plus a gallon. Know a few that have made the Prius switch out of there v8's already, yea they still have them, they just don't commute to work in them. 20+ gallons of gas a week or 6 or so a week. Don't let no one BS ya, these cars are Toyota dependable. By the way a friend who drives one just laughed and said you can't see the ugly from in the car.
People freak out about gas prices for the wrong reasons.
If gas jumped from $3.50 to $5.50 tomorrow, it would only affect my entire household has in my wife and I just under $200 a month. $2400 a year.
It would still be cheaper to keep my current vehicles then get that thing. I bet it sells for mids 20s when all said and done.
BTW that thing looks just about worthless if you need to haul anything or have a baby or infant.
The reason to freak over gas prices is cost of the transportation of goods, and how it will affect the prices of everything in the world, not just your gas bill.
