It cracks me up how Prius bashers always conveniently fail to mention the $3150.00 tax credit, as if it has no significance. Even funnier is how they always want to compare a Prius to a Corolla, Yarus, or Focus etc. Like comparing an apple to a raison. They never mention that the "comparable gas engine" in the Prius is backed by a torquey electric powerhouse that pushes it into a very different class performance wise. Then of course there is the 15-20 mi. a gallon difference in gas mileage over anything truly comparable, lets see, that takes me 165+ miles farther each and every comparative tankful, and for that I am very thankful. Then there are the numerous smaller blessings: environmental, fewer oil changes, less wear on the gas engine for considerable longer life span etc. and etc. Yeah, I'll stick by my experience over others hearsay, always.
