Your point about hybrids having a ticking time bomb as far as repairs are concerned is worth discussing. My Acura is 17 years old with no issues so far. I think it's reasonable to expect a car to go 15 years with relatively minor repair needs. That would mean gen I Prius would just now be needing a new battery. As it is, Gen II are needing batteries already.
