Is the Hybrid really the solution?

Do you just pull numbers out of your butt to make your point of view? The whole drivetrain including the battery is warrantied for 100,000 miles or 8 years. The cost of a Brand New Battery is less than $3000 installed. The XA is not near the car a prius is. I should know, I had a XB. A 100,000 mile prius, with our without a new battery, holds its value considerably better than a 100,000 mile XA. Less that 1% of Prius batteries have failed before 180,000 miles. All facts
