Supposedly Toyota loses money on every Prius' sold, they continue to make them as an R&D initiative and as a 'halo' brand for the company.
They drive like crap, are overpriced and have poor TCO... and i honestly think the long term environmental impact of all those batteries will be worse than the carbon footprint offset.
I'd rather the Volt be successful, but I'm very skeptical of that one too.
I'm with Jeremy Clarkson on this...if people care about the environment, you should buy a Jetta TDI or a Festiva (or similar well engineered compact).
