Me either.

I don't get why a tire that's say 28" tall is more expensive if it's got an 18" center hole than a 15" hole. On my Tacoma, I opted for the

16" over the 17" wheel for better off-road airing down and longevity over on-road hazards.

While we're on the subject, what possible use do ultra low aspect ratio tires have on a 4WD truck?

I totally understand low profile tires on a lowered, 2WD, "street" hot rod truck. Why have 4WD, with it's higher CG, extra weight, etc... with those tires?

I agree up to here.

The bladder and CHHS are required for low emissions and have no appreciable performance impacts. The rear view camera is a safety feature. Again, it does not impact performance.

I was just pointing out some of the differences between the US and EU Prius. Another item: the US Prius would have to lose the 12v cigarette lighter outlet on the dash, to be an EU Prius...

However, I guess the CHHS really DOES have an impact on fuel consumption, especially on daily smal trips?

Yes as does vapor recovery that dumps the fumes into the intake manifold.

What is the tax credit?

(Don't these cars bring $2500-$3000 *over* MSRP? A tax credit could cushion the blow.)

Only if you're willing to pay a dealer the "Availability Surcharge" or "Market Adjustment Surcharge" or "we're a greedy dealership Surcharge" of over MSRP for a hybrid available today. Most people ignore these overpriced dealerships and go to where the Prius (or other hybrid) is sold at MSRP. There are even a few dealerships that are selling for less than MSRP. The only thing is that you may have to wait for your car.

As part of the big Energy Bill of 2005, Alternative Fuel and Hybrid vehicles were given a tax credit. The amount of the credit depends on a couple of formulas based on the fuel efficiency of the vehicle, the number of vehicles sold in the US since Jan. 1, 2006, and another criteria I forget at the moment, but the max credit possible is $3500. The Prius has qualified for the highest amount so far, at $3150.

However, there is a sunset provision for the tax credits. After the manufacturer (in this case Toyota/Lexus/Scion) has produced 60,000 hybrids, the credit amount will reduce to 50% of the full credit the quarter after this milestone is reached. So, the full credit for Toyota/Lexus/Scion hybrids will be dropping by 50% on Oct. 1. 2006, as the magical number was hit during 2006Q2. Then each 2 calendar quarters after that, it drops another 25% of full credit, until it is gone 1 year later.

Drive and price a Corolla THEN decide if you want to spend all of that money on a Prius. The money you save will buy ALL of your fuel for the Corolla for six years. You might even drive and price a 4cy Camry, if you can put up with its lack of power, and still save enough to buy all of its gas for three years. ;)
