In response to "Detroit Catches a Break"

This morning I updated a story about the NHTSA investigation into Prius stalling, as did Motley Fool's, Rich Smith. In Detroit Catches a Break Smith states "But investors have to wonder how long Toyota's hybrid dominance can endure once tarred with the reputation of being the automotive equivalent of Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT - News) Windows -- "blue screen of death" and all." And later states, "All of this adds up to a potential reprieve for up-and-coming hybrid contender Ford (NYSE: F - News), which stepped on the gas pedal last year and got its Escape hybrid SUV to market before Toyota could launch its own green SUVs."

Kind of interesting considering that Ford utilizes largely the same hybrid powertrain as does the Prius hybrid, which Ford licensed from Toyota.

Nonetheless, I don't think the Prius is dead just yet.
