If Toyota Were A Software Company...

1) It would be a laughing matter.
2) Aficionados would just wait for the patch to be released.
3) A bunch of us would just wait 9 months, and upgrade to a 2011 model.
4) A few purist would get a Toyota 2000.
5) Early adopters would just wait for the lastest ooh-aah from Honda at the next auto show.
6) There would be blogs, and forums littered with workarounds already.
7) Instead of the proverbial...well ah-well ah-well ah, Toyota customer service would simply say, "oh yeah...that's a bug."
8) Disabling the Prius' alarm system might resolve the issue,
9) A thread dump of the ECM unit would be quite revealing.
10) Turning the key to the off position, putting the car in neutral, and stepping on the brake, would mysteriously resolve the problem.
