We've had debates about this sort of thing on uk.rec.cars.maintenance a
couple of times and my opinion FWIW is that much of the 'progress' in
cars over say the last 25 years has been retrograde. I have no doubt
that handling, ergonomics, comfort, safety has generally improved but
all the added complication has added weight and cost and use of
resources with no real net improvement in fuel consumption. Owner
servicing and repairing is almost a thing of the past because no one
understands what the hell any of the bits under the bonnet do anymore.


Neither do the dealers.

So that makes the Prius a bag of **** that does not come up to the
salesmans speel?

You have a vivid imagination. Over a million of these cars proves they are
the business.

A poor business. Every one sold at a loss to Toyota. Despite the high
price for a mediocre car.

The Prius is not one of them. It is a big success and they are building
more plant to make them. And another improved version on the way. As soon as
a model is built the new one is in R&D at Toyota. A new Avensis is on the
way too. Toyota pride themselves in the quietness of their cars - a big
selling point of the Avensis.
