This is good news! Americans will finally realise that Toyota's reputation for build quality has gone down the drain, and stop buying Toyotas based solely on their past reputation.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
Why is so cool to knock this car?

The factory in the US means more US jobs and more high mpg cars; a win/win for the USA.

Because the Prius is made in order to satisfy ecomentalist badgewhores who care about reducing petrol consumption, while ignoring the "big picture" that the processes used to build this car do more environmental damage than if they bought a gas hog in the first place.
