Due mainly to the recent discourses on this ng and the "toyota.camry" ng about the failures of starter motors (about which I know a little, having had to replace our starter in a nine year old Camry) I wonder how much trouble there is (or will be) with Priuses which supposedly stop the gas engine at stoplights and restart the engine when the green light appears. If you're going to have to restart the engine a dozen times for every run downtown, whenever you get a stoplight, plus all the times you'd normally start the car when stopped for a shopping errand, one would think the starter motor would get such a workout that it might only last a couple of years at best.
