Income spread

hjon71 · 03-22-2006, 12:08 PM

Just curious.
I seem to notice more Prius in large cities where perhaps the median income might be higher than average.

I assume you were refering to combined family income...

If I would have spent as much time checking as I did posting, I would have noticed the info at the top. More proof of what happens when you "assume".
Sorry 'bout that.

Concerning the poll, I would think many prius owners (and others) might be reluctant to divulge their income level on a public forum. (I know I would rather not.)

Also, if it should turn out to be true that most Prii are found in large cities, it might be in part because that's where the dealers (and, presumably, mechanics certified for their Prius knowledge) in those locations. I know one of the reasons that I did not consider getting a Prius before now (mine is only three weeks old) was the concern that Prius-specific service would be less available in the hinterlands. Having seen that the cars seem to be remarkably trouble-free has relieved my concern somewhat on this score. I am still not sure I would want to take my Prius in some of the really isolated regions of the West.

Wasn't there a poll on this some time ago? I think one of the choices was >1 million, and there were a couple of members at that level.

As far as privacy goes, you don't have to identify yourself in any way unless you want to.

I would suggest that nobody answer this. Sorry, it's inappropriate.

Okay, this poll again? Must I resurrect my affordability poll?

Income isn't wealth. (See explanation in my poll).

I answered the poll (which is anonymous). I would not state my income in a post. Are there really PC members with an income of over a million dollars a year??? Who? Without names, I'd be more likely to believe some anonymous persons answered frivolously.
