Hi Ed,
Steve, the people who analyze the hybrids miss one important
point. The Prius is a great car to drive even if it got only
25 mpg. It is comfortable, it handles well, and it has a well
designed interior. In addition, it has a good record of
reliability and its resale value is high. It goes for 600
miles before it needs gas. If a person wants a good car, why
would they care if it costs $3000 more than another car
having poorer specifications? Saving gas is not the only
reason to buy a Prius.
Regards,
Ed
You ask: "...why would they care if it costs $3000 more than another car."
Four words: "I can't afford it."
Alas, my boat has not yet come in. ;-)
Ah yes, you raise an entirely different point. We buy what we can
afford regardless of any other consideration. If I could afford it, I
would love to have a 747 I could fly anywhere, just like Bush. But
alas, my ship has not come in either. So I buy a Prius instead. I
guess we all have different sized ships.;-)

Ed
