Excellent find although I think the author was a little 'light' on CNW Marketing (or I'm too hard.) <grins> For example, the "Hummer" infrastructure was mentioned without any evidence that CNW Marketing included that in their cost model. But I appreciated their pointing out that CNW Marketing has not really posted all of their source data and methods. I just wish the rebuttal author had made a little stronger statement about this.

Regardless, time will solve the problem. CNW Marketing tied themselves to 'longevity' and Toyota's commitment to hybrids makes this a no-brainer. In short, every year, CNW Marketings own model makes the Prius less and less expensive.
