Thanks. That was interesting.

I was trying to see whether sales peaked at any particular time of year but the numbers are all over the place, barring a faint bias in established models towards improved sales during Summer months (Jun/Jul/Aug).

My local T-pusher (ie, in UK) seems to be shifting more Priuses in general.

It would appear the Toyota buyers are the only ones who do not yet understand hybrids are not a smart buy when compared to their conventionally powered twins. Unless ones goal is to save the earth. ;)

I paid about the same for my 2004 Prius as a comparably equipped Camry, the closest conventionally powered car Toyota sells, would have cost, and I got an income tax deduction in the process. How, in your opinion, was that not a smart buy?

Quite the contrary - Toyota hybrids are still selling as fast as they can be made, as they have since they were introduced. The sales figures are the production figures. Currently the premium for the hybrid system pretty much relegates the system to mid and top line vehicles, but there was a time fuel injection was that way, too.

I have an older Volvo; my older son has an Acura, my younger son has a Chevy (Cobalt), and my daughter has a Honda. The two Prius in our family have fewer combined problems and consume less combined gasoline than any of the other vehicles. And this is the infancy of hybrids.

Check the recent thread about the hybrid cost calculator (posted by another skeptic). Your info is seriously out of date.

But what about the cost of that car for its size? I haven't really looked, but it was ridiculous the last time I did.

Saving the Earth yes, saving a few bucks, no. Has that changed?

The $20K base price is right in line with other mid-size sedans with the usual mid-range features: automatic transmission, climate control, cruise control, ABS....

When we bought our first 2002 Prius we also looked at the Honda Accord 4 cylinder. The Accord was about two thousand cheaper on the lot here but was also twice as thirsty. It also didn't have the supernaturally smooth power delivery of the Prius. The Accord rear seat usable room was almost exactly the same as measured by the time-honored method of cramming various trios of adults in the back seat. KBB.com now says our car is worth $14,285 while the similarly equipped Accord would have been worth $11,330 (private party). In the 67K miles we've driven it we have saved as much as we've spent on gas, about $1500 (assuming average of $2.25 per gallon over the last four years). No matter how we look at it, we've come out way ahead.

The standard Prius features are expen$ive options on 'equivalent' cars.

It's about the same size as a Camry. Do the math.
