Why would someone who bought a Prius on one side of the river have a different warranty than an owner on the other side. Pa/NJ

Warranties are a liability. Offering longer warranty costs Toyota more $ in the event replacements are needed and also means they either need to produce enough spares before ceasing production (and stock them) or produce spares longer. If they under produce spares after ceasing production, then restarting production may be prohibitively expensive. Besides that, there are labor costs, which will only increase over time due to inflation.

What they did was to only have the longer warranty for the states where it was required.

This difference in warranty for certain systems depending on state, esp. emissions isn't Prius or hybrid specific.

Instead of blaming toyota, blame the states that have not signed up for the CA emission program! Vote for change so that the remaining states also joins into a better emission standard!
