Whose going to buy this car?

Sounds very expensive to maintain, and not very convenient.

It would seem that if someone was vain enough to buy and drive an all-electric vehicle with all of its inconveniences, they’d look to buy the next generation Prius or another vehicle with a major manufacturer behind it.

Prius sales down 45 percent in December

Hybrid vehicle sales, led by the Toyota Prius, crash again in December.The good ole days, at least for hybrid sellers

Change. Talk about what a difference a few months makes.

Just six months, you couldn't find a Toyota Prius on a dealer lot. In December, however, Prius sales fell 45 percent according to the AP. But it isn't just hybrid cars that are getting hit hard, but fuel efficiency in general, as Toyota and Honda posted bigger sales declines than their US competitors.
