Gas price is an hoax and we still all buy it? right?

35,000 miles for batteries???? Honda and Toyota guarantee their batteries for 160,000 km!!! Why people believe the batteries are dead after only 35,000 miles?

Today's batteries are way smaller than the 2003 and 2004 version of the Prius. The technology is better and better and I think in 10 years, we will all own an hybrid car until the hydrogen cars come.

Some people sounds like my grand-parents when they were saying in early 60's that Rock'N'Roll would be a short fashion and that it would die soon. Governments are now voting laws on that, they give thousands of dollar in tax rebate when you buy an hybrid, that will help this part of the industry to grow. I think Hybrid cars are like Rock'N'Roll and internet, it's there to stay and to invade our lives. Maybe today's hybrid is the Beta of the new technology, maybe the VHS is coming, I don't know, but gas prices will always go higher (and it's uncontrolable, sky's the limit) and hybrid cars' prices will always get lower each year. Do the math and what's your answer?
