That's wishful thinking. What is well over 100k? 150K tops?
And it will surely be a money pit for any owner once off warranty.
Great for yu and Toyota. Keep spreading that hype. It behooves yu not to, I understand. Unfortunately TIS is not able to keep up with past and current Prius issues. This only adds insult to injury.
There is no bashing here!
Why approach this as such?
Data is forthcoming. This
"far from Green" Technology is 10 years old.
Time to call it like it is. A passing Fad.
Sure, Toyota will get that one customer
that may get 300K out of his Prius, Toyota will post it all over their web site to brag about the Prius.
Then
Kathyricks will be telling everyone that Prius's will get 300k using Toyota products and service.
Toyota may even buy back the 300k Prius and offer a replacement Prius to this one owner. If this hasn't happened already.
There are many numerous articles to back up the one I have shown.
Trade publications and the like.
Working for NYC, I am
very, very familiar with these 1st and 2nd gen Priuses. And, I have firsthand exposure to all issues and Dealer's attempts at repairing these hybrids. Priuses downed for weeks on end.
It is a pretty ugly picture of this product.
Prospective buyers have heard all the hype.
Now it is time they have ALL the information to make a smarter, educated decision regarding what it means to own a Hybrid vehicle in real terms.
