Dead on arrival?
Boy, read MotorTrend or AutoWeek this morning and one might think the world has crashed on the king of hybrid cars and it’s Toyota Prius.
An optional, upgraded head lamp has been faulty and potential class action lawsuits are in the works. Yet, from what I’ve been able to determine, this is a problem affecting only hundreds of Prius owners. Perhaps many others aren’t complaining, and this problem is affecting a couple thousand owners. Nonetheless, we’re talking a tiny faction of Toyota Prius owners.
Certainly, if this is a shoddy product, Toyota should recall and fix this problem. Regardless, is this something that could really hurt Prius sales, or is this just something that MotorTrend and AutoWeek are hoping will hurt Prius sales?
