I do, and so does any one who knows the advantages. There is safety in numbers:
  • Availability of parts
  • Design faults and potential recalls are harder to ignore and deny
  • Faster servicing and shorter waits for appointments

Even though the Prius has good sales numbers, it will be outsold by the Toyota Camry Hybrid. This is already true in Canada, where even the Honda Civic Hybrid has reached parity (against the Prius). Note that the Civic is the best-selling car in Canada for the last 10 years.
