LOL! Payback for a prius begins at like 130,000 miles or so, so I hope they really love them.

The Left is sad, deeply saddened gas hasn't hit $6.00 a gallon.

Isn't their life expectancy only supposed to be about 100,000 miles or so?

I agree that "payback" would take a while for a Prius. I got one a year ago because I thought they are cool technologically. I haven't been disappointed from that perspective. My favorite feature of the car is the smart key system, which really has nothing to do with hybrid technology, but is very cool. I never have to take the key from my pocket to either unlock the doors or to start he car. The car knows when the key is nearby. I like the touchscreen controls for the stereo and climate control also. I do like getting 49 mpg vs. the 24 in my Passat. It is roomier than other high mpg cars-- as big inside as he Passat. I was surprised at the pep it has. Not like my turbo Passat, but enough for this 48 year old guy. It isn't for everyone, but I do really like it, despite the ridicule from my conservative colleagues-- I am a conservative too. I just like gadgets.

A Toyota I could see easily making it to 130,000 miles - a Ford Escape, nope.

Wonder where payback kicks in if they have one of the plug-adapted Priuses (I hate that name, it's just wrong) where you can charge off the grid at home, as well as additional battery capacity.

The Hybrids I catch in Lake Richland Chambers don't seem to cost any more than any other non-Hybrid. I'm confused????
