tell me again why a 40 mpg prius is supposed to be so
great....... ..........................  .....................  oh yeah,
cause they are so ugly.

There was a commercial on the other day claiming that the Prius has a 60mpg rating. From what I've heard, they don't even come close to living up to their ratings, and the batteries are expen$ive to replace, especially since the warranty doesn't cover them. I think I would buy a TDI VDub if I was in the market for a newer compact car. For now, it's not an issue since there are enough Mercedes diesels out there for a while.
