Thank you Sush. As far as I
Thank you Sush. As far as I know the only Prius that receives any rebates in most places is the Plug-in Prius. That model is excluded from the above analysis, which looked only at the most popular trim level of the cars. The Plug-in Prius sells about 1100 units per month, the "Prius" sedan sells in the neighborhood of about 10X that number. I'm not saying you are wrong, it could very well be the batteries that are causing the concern. However, in this analysis, the Prius mentioned has no rebates from the federal government or most states (California doesn't). I checked and the federal hybrid rebates ended by 2011. If I am mistaken, help me by attaching a link or two. Thanks for your input. You could very well be right about the reason.
