So that's what is wrong with the Prius

TOKYO - Toyota Motor Corp. said Tuesday it was recalling 418,570 vehicles globally, including some Echo and Prius models sold in the U.S., over a faulty engine part.

The faulty part is the latest in a string of problems requiring recalls by Toyota, raising doubts over whether the automaker can maintain quality standards amid booming sales.

The recall affects 268,570 vehicles sold in Japan across 12 models manufactured in 2001, including Corollas, the compact cars Vitz and Platz and the hybrid Prius, the company said in a statement submitted to Japan's Transport Ministry

The faulty part was the one that was supposed to make the drivers of these vehicles "NOT SUCK"

It has apparently not worked from the beginning

now that's some flipping funny stuff.

See, i never find these kinky tidbits that everybody has been opsting lately, but i'd take it to the prius forums and see what shook out of that mess... better to swim with sharks than yay-sayers, or at least much more adventurous.
