I'd only buy one if they make a diesel (I'M KIDDING!)
My brother-in-law's Prius (he calls it the Priapism) just took a
fatal, trade-the-car-back-in-level dump after 3 months. It'll be a
LONG time before they ever come close to working all the inherent
problems out of this hair-brained idea. Make the Commander with a
cast-iron 6 of any sort in it and it would seem pretty cool!

So what happened to the Prius? My sister is interested in one and I
can't talk her out of it. One of the points I made was the lack of a
clean track record for the new technology, and the problem with
getting service at any place other than the Toyota dealer.

I've gotta say, it was a really cool car when it worked. You only have
to have the key in your pocket and it knows who you are to start it.
Even the Toyota dealer couldn't diagnose the problem. They took it and
gave them a new one (great customer service at least) and were sending
it to a district lab or something to check out. When they were
driving, the car would just go dead, like unplugging a toy. Temp and
everything were normal; the power source just stopped dead for no
reason at random times. It has a little monitor that tells you what %
of power is coming from the battery and what % from the engine, etc.
It just kept happening even at different settings, like a faulty power
supply in a computer, until finally they couldn't start it/run it
again. The Toyota guys were baffled too. For it only being 3 months
old, big warning sign! I don't care what goes wrong with a regular
engine, somebody has seen or heard about the problem. It's scary when
the folks who built it don't even know.
