Should be "Moving Forward...WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT!!!!!!" disclaimer: I am not trying to dis on Toyota, yes they have a problem but its not like they were the ONLY cars to have this problem.

I think he's making the whole thing up to get back at the service center that turned him away. I think we'll see more about that come out in due time. I'm no fan of the Prius (unless I could get one for $500!). I've been looking at the Honda Insight. There are a few in my area. Anybody have any experience of feedback on the technology of those? I'm talking the ones from 2000 or so.

They would have to re-engineer the throttle plate, cruise control, ECU to name a few. Throttle cables fray, snap and rust. If they fray the throttle can be stuck open. Every manufacturer now a days uses drive by wire but of the millions of vehicles sold only a handful have had this problem. Also there were a ton of Audis in the late 80's that had this problem as well. They had cable throttles.

Yeah IIRC, most of those were actually American drivers showing how they couldn't drive.
