...is more about cache and image than someone caring about the
environment or even saving on gas. So are most electrics, in fact.
Toyota tried to sell the same Prius without the Prius logo
prominently displayed and it was a dud. These are badges that the
upper class, the only ones who can afford them, can drive to
display their concern. Real or faux.

Likely some will get their cars later than the originally
projected date, but I don't think many will be asking for their

buy used and make them last), but it's no longer just for the super
rich.

...but yeah, today's good used cars (like a Scion) could last 200K miles with care.
But even the cool cars that I've owned, I bought used.
