I've made up my mind that I just can't justify continuing to drive my 25 mpg Saab 95, as beautiful of a car as it is. (The gasoline ethanol reformulations have actually cost me 3 mpg in mileage, where I used to get 28 mpg.) So it looks like a Prius is in store for me.
Priuses, BTW, are emerging everywhere, here. I think demand may have been hurt substantially by the perceived backlog.
I'm not sure I even care that Toyota underwrote their development. They can afford it, and Priuses are damn good cars. Roomy and very comfortable.
And, Detriot always bitches and moans about what they could have done with just a bit of effort, long ago. The SUV has always been nothing but a scam, and one subsidized by our tax dollars, at that. They are also generally terrible vehicles. Why more people don't realize that has always been somewhat of a mystery to me.
