Alot better than the $5,000 we were told when my wife originally bought the Prius. No serpentine belt sounds innovative to me. Yes I heard the batteries wer around that price also.

Less than $2400 last I heard. No transmission needed either. And on the new 2010 Prius there's no surpentine belt as well. It all supports the lowest cost of ownership theory.

Can't really say what the marketing push is all about, it's a wait and see. Hybrid technology is where it's at. Toyota Technology has it where the Hybrids keep the battery in the sweet spot of 40-80% charge, which increases the life of the battery. We have yet to see a Hybrid battery replaced unless it has been damaged in an accident. Lithium technology is a limited, short life span battery. Not much more you need to say about it.

Must be gold lined or something. Not really the same, but about the same thing for 10 bucks per chromed lug nuts rusting out on my previous 07' tundra with 20 of them costing over 200 bucks to replace every year after winter when they start showing rust in the corners. My dealer told me that a guy owing a tundra went thru 3 sets in 1 winter that Toyota warrantied at my dealer and after the 2nd winter was over, he went in to get a 4th set since rusted out again after the 2nd winter on the 3rd set of chromed lug nuts and the dealer's regional service mgr. would NOT stand behind getting a 4th set installed under warranty although the chromed lug nuts are warrantied for 12 months/12K mileage. Just goes to show another fine example of non-quality parts not being put into our Tundras. If it wasn't for the great/superior engine and tranny and somewhat decent interior no better or no worse than the big 3, the Tundra would just be another 1/2 ton truck. Ouch, over 100 bucks per bulb.

MK - Word. The "extra" $300-$400 million could be spent about 300-400 different ways to more effect. Mickey – Yikes! $122 for a bulb leaves a mark…
