The simple answer is they don't need to.
The reputation and performance of the Toyota Prius is such that a longer warranty is not needed to sell another car off of the lot. Regardless, Toyota has two levels of battery warranty:
8yr/100k miles - standard
10yr/150k miles - in selected states including CA
We also have performance reports including 160,000 miles without a battery replacement. But if Toyota offers a retro-active warranty increase, I would be gracious. Is Honda's change retro-active?
