2. True. Also prices will fall as production increases. Also true about the marketing.

Toyota did a shitty job, too, over the years marketing the Prius, even making it look like a sissy or hippy car, not at all appealing to the sound economics or sustainability of hybrids.

After all, Ford and Toyota still see a lot of profit in their light truck and SUV offerings.

Enough that they dropped the very utilitarian Camry and Corolla wagons from their line ups-- for the American market. These were still sold in other countries.

Bastards.
