Not when I can buy a conventional Honda that gets 40 + mpg for $10,000 less than a Prius.

The Honda is affordable with 80 percent of the fuel economy performance for 55 percent of the cost.

And to agree with tech-ed, the Honda is better looking.

Plus do the math.

Is it better for the planet to replace 1,000 cars getting 22 mpg with expensive Priuses getting 50 mpg or replace 100,000 cars getting 22 mpg with affordable cars getting 40 mpg?

The smart money for saving the planet is on the lower cost, bigger impact car.
