That's even more ridiculous.
When Toyota's plug-in serial (not parallel) hybrid using lithium ion batteries comes out, then it had better be the same price ($20-25K) as the Prius.

Genius logic

All along, this car should have been priced at the Prius' level. If that involved dumbed-down tech, so be it. Who cares as long as it works.
GM, BMW, and Honda have tried that route and people like you laughed at the attempts because they weren't 'real' hybrids, but they worked. So don't be hypocritical.

The only answer you'd be happy with would be to COPY the Prius and price it the same. Of course then you'd blast 'em for not coming up with anything new.

Maybe if Ford built it, or it was a diesel, you'd be happier
