Why would the Bushies care what other people buy?
-First, the additional cost is like what, a daily coffe for a year, or a premium superbowl ticket?
-Second, when your talking vehicle selection it's always emotion, not reason, in sales. People will spend $10K more for a "tougher" looking vehicle that is completely impractical for their lifestyle, but they think their friends will respect more.
-Third, this thing called "capitalism" is supposed to have "consumer choice" with it.
-Fourth, technowlogical baby steps. Mabye 2010 models will have 5KW solar arrays that fold out to power houses.
The only downside to the Prius is that it only gets 45-55mpg.
