Replying to: gagrice (Aug 22, 2004 12:06 pm) The fact that you are in denial of that and also refuse to acknowledge that limitation caused by the Ovonics lawsuit as well as third-party supplied parts is something you're going to have to learn to accept. JOHN

Replying to: gagrice (Aug 22, 2004 12:06 pm) P.S. There was a typo on my post #310. I meant to say, "But automakers realize they can't just sell those kinds of vehicles, because not everyone wants them or can afford them."

| I can't believe how people write the same stuff ALL the time on these boards. Every professional article I read mentions that the supplier of the Prius traction battery is the primary reason for the delay in getting units out. I trust that in a year's time, this will be remedied. Folks will have to accept that hybrids are here to stay. I look forward to eventually getting one. | |
| It is a fact that total Prius production is going up by 50%. The US division is probably going to get an even larger increase in their allocation. Our dealer has already been told that the regional allocation will be going up substantially by winter. | |

Replying to: backy (Aug 22, 2004 2:49 pm) you are correct there also. I think they re-directed some of the production and did work overtime to increase output. I'm sure the hybrids will not suffer the same fate of the EV-1. It was an experiment with electric cars. I think it was a bit before it's time and the marketing did not put any responsibility on the driver. There was no infrastructure to support the EV-1. The hybrids do not suffer from that problem. I think the Civic GX is also suffering from supply problems with re-fueling stations for CNG. I think I have mentioned before I liked my two test drives in the first Prius they brought to San Diego. I just have a hard time believing that Toyota is on the up & up with production. Not denial, mistrust of corporate giants.

No matter how many times you continue to see the data in print, you keep refusing to acknowledge it John, Print means nothing. They have printed that the Lexus hybrid SUV would be out this last Spring. It was not. Until I see quiet cars and SUVs running up and down the highway & byways it is all HYPE. That is reality. In my driving around San Diego I have not seen more than a half a dozen Prius. That is not many in a city of 2 million people. |
