有没有为了环保，买个prius的

Electric Car根本不适合在北方使用。想想冰雨的日子，除去冰要热车15分，得需要多少电力？

同意。而且电池在低温达不到设计容量

Electric Car 不算？省油至0。不就是肉一点么，为了美丽的小球儿克服一点呗。
谈到环保，叶公好龙的多，真有环保的东东乐，躲远远的~

这么看来，环保是上层建筑，要有强大的经济基础

哪位神秘侠士这么了解老华侨！

Prius是不错的车。时常被称为最省油的车之一。但是，那要看怎么比了。
Prius号称是中型车(Mid-size Car)，但除了华人，谁能真正认为那是“中型车”！别说中型车了，即使放在小型车堆里，它也丝毫不显大。
它为什么能被称为“中型车”呢？因为Toyota玩了一个花招。人们在进行车子大小分型的时候，要考察一个指标，即车内容积的大小。因为，一般车子，如果其长宽一定，其内部大小也就定了。Toyota的花招是，把Prius的顶棚做高点，于是其内部容积就算达到中型车的指标了。:blowzy:
它实际上只能算是小型车（Compact Car）。然而，在小型车里，又有几家做成电动混装呢？！
把一个小型车做成电动混装，那当然油耗就很低了。

要说真正的中型车，Toyota不是没有。喜爱日本车的，恐怕没有不知道Camry的。那么，请问，Camry电动混装的油耗是多少？它是：5.7/5.7！
这个值，还不如同类型的Ford Fusion。Fusion电动混装的油耗是：4.6/5.4 ！！

那么请问了，Toyota为什么不把Prius的“省油”技术，用到Camry上呢？
当然无法做到！因为，Prius为了达到这个省油效果，除了尺寸以外，肯定是要做出牺牲的。如果Camry也做出同样大的牺牲，恐怕老脸也没处放了。反过来，这自然也就反衬了Prius的问题。

当今的汽车厂家竞争非常激烈，技术差异不是很大。在现有技术下，省油设计几乎都到了极限。这时，如果有哪款车的省油特别突出，不是对比有问题，就是有重大牺牲，要么二者兼有。

谁要是还是喜爱，那就喜爱去吧。

好了，今天的报道印证了我的判断 ---

75 percent of Toyota Prius owners wouldn't buy again: report
-- Michael Small, Y! Autos Canada

A recent Polk survey reveals that hybrids cars aren't developing repeat customers. Fully 65 percent of owners would decline a second purchase. And the news is worse for Toyota.

Bad news for manufacturers of hybrid cars: costumer loyalty is low, as only 35 percent of owners purchased another hybrid when buying a new car from 2008 to 2011. The numbers are taken from a report by automotive researchers Polk, who studied the habits of 75,000 hybrid owners in the market for a new car.

The news comes at a time when hybrid popularity is as high as it’s ever been, with models flying off the lot (hybrids saw a 169% increase in sales in February) at a record pace. But does the new report signal that costumers are unsatisfied with the hybrid experience?

The numbers are even grimmer if repurchase behavior among Toyota Prius owners is taken into account. The Prius is by far the most popular hybrid, making up nearly %50 of all hybrid car sales in March. But when Prius numbers are taken out of the equation, hybrid loyalty drops to a paltry 25%. For comparison’s sake, the industry average for brand loyalty, with all types of cars taken into account, is 49%.
Keep in mind those numbers are for overall brands, not specific models. When you factor in that the majority of manufacturers only have one or two hybrid models for the entire brand, the high price-point for hybrids and the staggering amount of competition, 35% starts to look more appealing.

No matter how you slice it, the report has to take some of the wind out of the sales for hybrid manufacturers, who are riding high in 2012. With only a third of return costumers, and another report stating that the majority of hybrids can take up to a decade before saving their owners money, these fuel efficient cars are under the microscope at a time when gas prices are primed to hit an all-time high.

But with hybrids only making up 2.5% of all new car sales, the sample size is simply too small to make any concrete judgments. For the time being, manufacturers can afford look past weak brand retention as long as new costumers continue to come in droves. But if only 1 in 3 costumers is coming back for more, it could spell trouble for the hybrid market down the road.
