"Perhaps they should ask Vancouver BC's Andrew Grant, the world's first Toyota Prius taxi cab driver. After three years of daily use his Prius had logged over 180,000 miles with only a handful of minor problems. Grant has now purchased a new-generation Prius and more of these remarkable vehicles are being used by cab owners willing to take a chance on the technology."

I couldn't find a different source and I'm not going to devote more time looking for one.
Feel free to provide your own if you have any.
HONDA 5.1 JEEP 5 MAZDA 5.6 MITSUBISHI 5.8 NISSAN 5.5 TOYOTA 5.5 VOLVO 5

Well, here's another statistic although it doesn't break it down by brand:
"The average age of pbuttenger cars in Japan has reached a record 9.96 years.......Sources: Automobile Inspection Registration buttociation, Nikkei Industrial Daily"
Whatever gets juice into the car. In 10-15 years, hybrid technology will have advanced enough that this should be trivial.
They all do.
You think Detroit does?
Nah - I don't want to look "intellectual".
