Don't dismiss the results so quickly. What seems to be a joke might actually have the ring of truth.

These ratings seem to correlate with the complexity of the car, as well as resources used. It is a very granular study.

Doesn't matter, the bogus CNW Marketing Research site, and the circular "reason" site that uses it for reference lists the prius at 100,000 mile lifespan -- which makes no sense.

You are just proving the point that you didn't take any time to READ THE REPORT. It goes into great detail about the much typed about but seldom read lifespans of the vehicles, and their methodology of how they came about. I realize other sites are quick to judge, but they could have done exactly what you did. Knee jerk reaction.

Yes I did, the report's methodology is flawed. It is right-wing shill.
