i agree as all of you that this is a sad day...
i work in the auto industry and one of the local shops had a prius in there and it needed battery replacing. it had to be towed to toyota because they did not have the tooling to do it, customer oviously not happy....

i have always been a mitsu fan, but i dont ever see myself buying another one again if its a hybrid....whats the fun in that?
