Wow. Where does all of this anti-hybrid anger come from? What causes normally intelligent people to say that I could get an equivalent non-hybrid car for $9500 less than I paid for my Prius? As far as I can tell, there's no non-hybrid midsize car that has traction control, climate control, just about every airbag in the book, HID lamps & fog lights, keyless doors & start, fits two car seats and a double stroller, etc. for $14500. Not to mention getting 49.8MPG over the 22,000 miles I've put on it. If anyone finds one, let me know!
