...once you ALSO consider the environmental impact of the manufacturing the vehicle, and then recycling / disposing of it when its components have worn out?

The study performed by those two Harvard professors a few years ago showed the Hummer H1 cost about half of the Prius for the entire life cycle of the vehicles.

The H1 was at least $80K. No way the life cycle costs would be less than the Prius.
