They’ll love the Prius as soon as those expensive batteries poop out and the dealer tells the owner it’s time to buy a new car.
I stopped by a friend’s today, who lives in a very upscale yuppy neighborhood. I had to ask: which Prius is yours? Almost every car on the block was a Prius. She told me when the battery goes it’s a cool $10K to replace.
My son, on the other hand, has a 95 Honda Accord, tapping up around 185K. A pure joy to maintain.
