Yeah, the mileage on the TDI makes you wonder why all the complexity of a hybrid. If you want to really cheap out, you cna make your own biodiesel and run it on the scraps from fast food restaurants - I've been behind someone runnign it before and was looking around where the McDOnald's was, only there wasn't want, it was the car in front of me.
Good luck with a Prius getting a half million miles - you'll be through several battery packs if the rest of it lasts that long.
And what I said before - what exactly is a domestic car? My old Dodge minivan was built in Canada, not the US. Honda Accords are built in Ohio. Some BMWs are built in South Carolina. Am I supporting US workers more buy buying a car from a US company that's made in another country, or a car from a foreign manufacturer that is built in the US by American workers?
