My father is in his 70s, healthy as a goat. He retired from Chevy and still knows many workers there. Well as you might imagine he is NOT to fond of any car that is not mostly made in America by American Management, and there is nothing any of us can do to talk him away from that sort of thinking. So when I mentioned to him the Toyota Prius 3rd Generation was on target to sell 400,000 cars for next year he called it a lie and demanded to know my source. But that's the problem, we have multiple sources that back the 2010 Prius hybrid at 400,000 cars for the 2010 model. Dad is stubborn. I am not even allowed to park a non American car in his driveway, and this played a big part in me buying the Cobalt XFE- it would of tore my UAW family apart if I had paid for a Hybrid made in Japan. I would of been dis-owned, and I would hate to have my 73 year old father do that NOW! I do love technology and I love Hybrids.
