I just figured my taxes and got the whole thing, though it was only the $1575 since I didn't rush to get my Prius earlier in the year.

Maybe. On the other hand, the tax deduction and tax credit were really intended to get the technology started, not sustain it for the long-haul. The phase-out for Toyota is not a penalty so much as a planned result of their hybrid vehicles selling so well.
