In 2008 the sight of a Toyota Prius sporting an Obama hopey changey bumper sticker rose to the level of being a cliche and the Prius itself became a social statement, outselling other hybrids based on existing gasoline powered models. Well the former hasn’t exactly turned out like everyone thought and now Toyota is launching yet another recall, this time for 270,000 Prius cars with faulty brakes. There’s some poetic irony in there somewhere, but in each case there is little humor to be found as the consequences are quite dire.
