You're right, much more appropriate that you should be British. Pryus it is!

ok sry to disagree with you but when you said that, i actually looked it up and u were partly right. the life of the batteries are guaranteed to last 80-100K miles but i also found this:
"Honda and Toyota have both announced drastic cuts to the cost of replacement batteries for their hybrids. It will now cost just under $2,000 to have new batteries installed in you Honda Insight, and just under $2,500 for your Accord hybrid. These are about $1,000 reductions in the cost. Toyota, on the other hand, has dropped prices from ~$5,500 to $3,000, but that doesn’t include the installation, so the real cost is likely a bit more."
so we were both right!
how about we leave it at that?

No, you were wrong on both counts. The batteries last more than 6 months and are considerably more expensive to replace than $2000. I'm just saying.
