    Well, that's great, if you can get financing. And want to drive an anal probe.

    Its great that they're providing all sorts of nifty new ways to afford a car...


    But when will they realize that *most* of us DON'T NEED NEW CARS!? Especially in this economy!

    @Oranges w/ Cheese: I'm fairly certain they do realize we don't need new cars. We didn't need new cars when times were good either.


    They're just trying to sweeten the pot for those that *want* new cars, but are teetering on the tipping point of the whole need/want balance beam.

    Any yet they still have the balls to charge 90 thousand dollars for a tarted up Land Cruiser. Shame, shame.

    Like most things that have new models... I totally see why the 2009 Prius is failing.


    The prius is completely designed around good fuel economy and minimal environmental impact (from the end user). So if somebody know's the next years model is going to be 5mpg better and only 8months away, why buy now?


    It'd be like me walking into best buy and buying a PS2 5 months before the PS3 comes out (and if you knew PS2 and PS3 would be similarly priced). Who does that?


    SHOW ME THE MONEY TOYOTA!

    @Chris P. Bacon: I've never understood why the Prius is a "minimal environmental impact" vehicle when it's filled with so much hazardous material? Last time I checked, you can't exactly turn all those batteries into compost.

    @Unevolved: Prestigious Commenter of Justice: Much of the battery material can be recycled. However that process in itself is very energy consuming as well as the process to manufacture said batteries.


    When it comes down to it, the Prius is just as much an energy consumer as any other vehicle, its just had a thorough "Green" marketing treatment to try and make you feel as if its not.

    @Unevolved: Prestigious Commenter of Justice:

    You obviously never read other comments here because for the 50th time: a) The batteries are valuable so they will get recycled. b) It's a myth that hybrids are more toxic, and there's a lot of nickel in the chrome of a regular car (here's more on the Sudbury plant that people bring up). c) 75-90% of the lifetime energy footprint of a car is in operation, not production.


    A substantially better mileage car IS BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT than another new car. Get over it.

    @skierpage: You act as if the argument is over, when all you've proven is there is another way to jigger the numbers.
