Q: 2009 Toyota Prius question?
Im looking at a few 2009 Toyota Prius's that range from having 30,000 to 46,000 miles on them, im wondering if i should be concerned about the mileage on them i know thats not a lot at all, but i dont know how things work with hybrids and if im going to expect problems in the near future with this vehicle? i'm also considering a 2011 Toyota Corolla...

A: "im wondering if i should be concerned about the mileage on them" I'd be worried about a Prius with any mileage. If you value your life and your daughter's life, don't buy Japanese cars. -TOYOTA SUCKS

Q: Is S400 Hybrid worth it?
My dad wants to get a brand new S-Class, the 2011 version when it comes out. When does come out by the way? Anyways, he has the money to buy a S65 but he also likes to save the environment. He wants a Mercedes-Benz for sure and he came across the S400 Hybrid. He read and watched a lot of reviews on it(the 2010 version) and they all said it wasn't as nice as S550, and it is a bit sluggish. Reviewers said it feels really slow. Here is the thing, we live in Michigan where there is 6 months of winter. It usually snows 2-3 times a week. Some people say if the driver is careful, a rear-wheel drive(S400 Hybrid) can handle the snow and some say it's dangerous. I know 3 people who totaled their rear-wheel drive in the snow, but they were all teenagers. If he gets a S550, it will be a 4MATIC. Also will people think that my dad couldn't afford a S550 if he gets the S400? Also part of the reason he wants a S-Class is because well #1 it's the top selling and most popular luxury car in the world but also because it's used as state/president cars in Asia and Europe. Which one do they usually use? S550 or S600? Is getting the S400 worth it? Would you get a S400 or S550 if you could afford it, even though S400 is more environment friendly? But S550 is environment friendly too right? I heard S550 uses recycled material and burns fuel cleaner than Toyota Prius, which is good for the environment. Thoughts please, thank you (:

A: You've been watching Top Gear, huh? Maybe you haven't. I don't know. But anyway, if it does snow a lot, you should DEFINITELY get an all-wheel-drive/4MATIC. The best luxury car for an area with a lot of snow is the Range Rover. It really can handle snow well. He shouldn't get a RWD. It's not going to be good in a lot of snow. But if you're getting an S-Class (my favorite sedan in the world) you definitely should NOT get the hybrid. 0-60 in 7 SECONDS! That is VERY slow. It is very sluggish. I know it's environmentally friendly, but it's so boring to drive. Don't get it. One car doesn't make any difference. The S550 uses a bunch of recycled material- well so does the S400, and the S600, and the S63 and S65, too. Not just the S550. It burns fuel a lot cleaner than a Toyota Prius. Everybody says the Prius is environmentally-friendly, but it's not! It uses a LOT more energy to make a Prius than an S-Class, but I'm not going to go there. Now I'll answer your questions one by one. The 2011 S-Class will be released November 15, 2010, but there might be a delay. People will NOT think that he's poor if he gets the hybrid, people don't think that when they see hybrids. Some will say, "Ah, there's an idiot who sacrifices power for environment," while others will say, "Ah, a good fellow, trying to save the Earth," but nobody will think that he's poor. Poor people get the E-Class. Which one do the presidents in Asia and Europe use- definitely the S600. If your dad can afford it, he really should get it, it is a phenomenal car in terms of performance, especially since it is so heavy. But the AMG models are even better. It's actually kind of tough between the S600 and the S63- the S600 having a smaller engine but 12 cylinders, while the S63 having a larger engine but 8 cylinders. Anyway, is the S400 worth it? Nah. Very expensive, very sluggish, very slow. Of course, it's an S-Class, and compared to any Lexus LS model, it is better, but for an S-Class, it's no good. If I could afford it (I can, actually) I would definitely get the S550. The S550 isn't so bad in terms of environment. You're right, it has a lot of recycled material, but, then, so does the S400. It definitely burns fuel much cleaner than a Prius- a horrid car indeed. Overall, if he really is willing to sacrifice a lot of performance for environment, he should get the S400, but if he doesn't want to spend a lot on a car that is VERY slow, he should definitely get the S550/S600, and I would personally get the S600.

Q: Discrete and Continuous Data?
I need some homework help... Would "Toyota hopes to produce 100,000 Prius hybrids for the United States in 2011" be an example of continuous or discrete data? I'm so confused! Please help!

A: *It would be discrete, A discrete variable is one that can have scores of discrete points on a scale. For example, a family can consist of 3 children, 4, children, or 5 children, but not something like 4.5 children. So, Toyota could produce 100,000 hybrids, but not 100,000.5...For your information, a continuous variable is one whose scores on a scale are continuous and not discrete steps. For example, the time to complete a race could be 20.50 seconds or something like 20.5011 seconds* M.S. Experimental Psychology
