Ask me now what it costs to replace the battery. Mine has a 10 year/150,000 mile warranty. After that, it's same boat you are in now. You can buy a new Mercedes engine for $3 or $4k, or pull one from the junk yard for $500.

I'd put my 1.0 liter, 3 cylinder, automatic transmission Hybrid against your Mercedes diesel. Unless you're driving a new CDI or a 98-up E300, I would win every time.
I win.
So, uhh, how are the performance products for the Prius going?
What's the best chip?


Hmm, get this. Toyota's ignition system on the Prius is called "Toyota Direct Ignition," or TDI for short!
HAH! THEY WISH!!

Thank you, but I'll take my diesel any day over an "AT-PZEV."
